<p style="margin:12px;">Historically, Euclidean geometry has provided a framework for understanding and describing the physical world. It is based on axioms and postulates, leading to well-defined formulas for the calculation of areas and volumes of shapes such as circles and spheres.

The concept of setting the square and the cube as the basis of the area and the volume calculation is well established and straightforward. Regardless of the shape of the measured object, the result is in square or cubic units, depending on if it is a plane or a solid shape.

<br>

<br>
305+
In the case of the area of a triangle, it is an easy task because multiplying the base by the height gives a rectangle with an area exactly the double of the triangle. The square root of half of the area of the rectangle is the side length of the theoretical square that has the same area as the triangle.
306+
<br>
307+
<br>

In the case of the volume of a cuboid, it is a simple multiplication of the edges. The cubic root of the product of the edges is the edge length of the theoretical cube that has the same volume as the cuboid.

Several complex formulas were introduced by different mathematicians, aiming to more accurately estimate this ratio, based on a theoretical polygon with an infinite number of sides.

All the above mentioned comparison methods have one thing in common. They are estimating the perimeters of polygons and do not account for the curved shape of the circle.
