He began with a circle bounded by an inscribed and a circumscribed hexagon — not the absolute minimum of 3 or 4 sides — likely because the hexagon is closer to the circle while still being easily calculable. By bisecting the angles (splitting them in half), he turned the hexagons into a 12-gons, then 24-gons, all the way to 96-sided shapes. This allowed him to calculate the perimeter of these shapes using only straight lines and Pythagoras' theorem.

<pitemprop="description" style="margin:12px">By fundamentally shifting the axioms from the abstract, zero-dimensional point to the square and the cube as the primary, physically-relevant units for measurement, this system defines the properties of shapes like the circle and sphere not through abstract limits, but through their direct, rational relationship to these foundational units. The results of these formulas align better with physical reality than the traditional abstract approximations</p>
