His approach was that the ratio between the perimeter and the diameter of a circle can be estimated by comparing the circumference of the circle to the perimeters of an inscribed and a circumscribed polygon.

The polygons can be divided into triangles. The ratio between the legs of the triangles and their hypotenuses can be measured linearly.

This method has several limitations. He tried to increase the accuracy by increasing the number of sides of the polygons. This approach cannot produce an accurate result.
