Mensuration Archimedes of Samos (287-212 B.C.) studied at Alexandria as a young man. One of the first to apply scientific thinking to everyday problems, he was a practical man of common sense, He gave proois for finding the area, the volume and the centre of gravity of circles, spheres, conics and spirals. By drawing polygons with many sides, he arrived at a value of rbetween 342 and 312. He was killed in the siege of Syracuse at the age of 75. ‘mass, length, area, volume and capacity in practical situations and in terms of larger or smaller units.
