Detailed explanation-1: -Archimedes’ method finds an approximation of pi by determining the length of the perimeter of a polygon inscribed within a circle (which is less than the circumference of the circle) and the perimeter of a polygon circumscribed outside a circle (which is greater than the circumference).
Detailed explanation-2: -Archimedes invented the crucial sciences of mechanics and hydrostatics. Archimedes created one of the essential physics concepts that is the centre of gravity. He discovered the laws of levers and pulleys that allow moving heavy objects using small forces. Archimedes calculated the most precise value of pi.
