He tried to and his method was soundly based. His estimate, of approx 3.1485, was too large by a little over 0.2%.
Archimedes had several inventions to defend Syracuse, including walls that could shoot arrows. The most famous of these inventions was the Archimedes Claw; a device to lift attacking Roman warships out of the water. No one today has been able to figure out how this device worked.
It does not measure anything. It is a two dimentional figure equivelent to half of a circle.
You take out your ruler and measure it.
Measure the circle's radius and square it. Multiply the result by pi. This number is the circle's lineal foot measurement.
#1 The Pythagorean Theorem > length of sides of a right triangle #2 Pi or 3.14 > > figure the area of a circle #3 Archimedes Principle > measure volume by liquid displacement
Assuming you are talking about a circle:* If you know the radius of the circle, multiply that by 2. * If you know the circumference of the circle, divide that by pi. * If you know nothing, you need to measure either the radius, the diameter, or the circumference.
you either measure it, or use pi to figure it out from the circumference, or divide the diameter by 2.
If the arc is circular, such a figure is a semicircle or half circle.
A circle is a plane figure. A 'circular' solid figure would be a sphere.
A circle has no volume. Volume is only for 3-D shapes. A circle does not have volume because it is a 2 dimentional figure.A circle can only have circumfrance and area. Only a 3 dimentional figure can have volume. Mabye you are thinking about a sphere.
If you know the radius, double that to get diameter. If you have neither radius or diameter, then measure around the outside.
no, it is sphere is not a perfect circle. because sphere is 3dimensional figure and circle is 2 dimensional figure
