It was because he seemed really excited by his discovery, that is when you put an object into water, some of the water gets displaced or pushed out of the way.

Why did Archimedes shout 'eureka'?
According to legend, Archimedes shouted "Eureka!" (which means "I have found it!") while running down the streets naked. The reason he did this is because he found out that, a body immersed in water has a buoyant force equal to the weight of the water that it displaces. He was able to find out if the kings crown was really made of pure gold this way (and it wasn't).
How do you calculate the volume of a human body?
You could use Archimedes Principal. Fill a container (a bath, or tank) with enough water to cover the body, and measure the volume of water. Then, get the person to lie down fully in the water, and measure the level of the water again and calculate the new volume as if the tank held only water.. The difference in volume between the two measurement is the volume of the person's body. Another way to use the displacement method would be, if you can be sure to catch all the overflow, fill the cntainer to the top. get the person climb in and lie down and measure how much spills over the top... this works best if there is a spout at the side and you can fill the container up to the level of the spout.

The set of all the points in the plane that are a given distance from a line segment is a pair of lines parallel to the given segment?
Not quite. It is two parallel lines of the same length as the line segment plus two semicircles, one at each end of the line segment. The overall shape is like an oval running track with the original line segment down the middle.

Why Archimedes shouted EUREKA?
Archimedes, according to legend, shouted "Eureka!" after leaping out of his bathtub and running naked down the streets of Syracuse (a Greek colony in ancient Sicily). Eureka means "I found it!" in Greek, and he was yelling it because he was ecstatic at finding the solution to a problem that had been put to him by the king of Syracuse. It seems the king was suspicious that a jeweler was cheating him about the true amount of gold he had used to make the royal crown. It was known how much a given amount of gold should weigh, but the problem was that the crown was already finished and shaped into an intricate design, and there was no good way to measure the volume of the crown without destroying it. When Archimedes lowered himself into his full bathtub, he noticed that his body displaced an amount of water, spilling over the edge. He reasoned that an object lowered in water would displace a volume of water equal to its own, so he now had a way to accurately measure the volume of the crown. The crown was tested, and it measured out at less that the amount of gold the jeweler had charged the king for, and he was punished severely. Archimedes was considered a scientific genius of his time, and was also credited for defending his city of Syracuse against the Romans by using cranes that overturned ships, and mirrors that concentrated sunlight on them and caused them to burn.

How do you measure the volume of a piece of metal?
You'd use a "Eureka can!" If you fill a cup or special container completely full and submerge the object you want to measure in the water then water will be displaced by the object. If you collect the water and measure it in a measuring cylinder then you will have the volume of water displaced, which will be exactly the volume of the object. The "Eureka can!" is named because of Archimedes discovery or displacement and density which allegedly caused him to run naked down the street shouting "Eureka" in celebration.
