Method of exhaustion

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because the idea of calculating the area of a circle without knowing pi seemed impossible to accurately do. Ancient math has always struck my attention and with this article being very short, I thought it was perfect to evaluate.

Evaluate the article
The article covers the base background on the subject but doesn't go very deep with it. Issues I found include no formula or example of what the method looks like. There is also no example of where this method lead to other than a brief "It was later reinvented..." The lead paragraph creates a good start to the article but is followed by a dead end. (Doesn't transition or reference the rest of the article).

Overall this article provides a brief history and context on the subject but has a lot more that can be added for clarity.
