alleryThe method of exhaustion was used for areas, volumes and which other quantity?
ASurface areas
BSurface angles
CSurface arches
DSurface anchors
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Surface areas
1. The method was applied wherever a shape resisted simple formulae.
2. It handled flat figures and solid bodies alike.
3. It arose in calculating areas of plane figures, surface areas and volumes.
4. So surface areas were among its targets.
