Dominik [7]3 years ago

Answer:

1 . It is believed Archimedes was born 287 BC in Syracuse in Sicily, but we don't know his exact birth date.

2 . Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier when the Romans were conquering Syracuse.

3. Archimedes didn't invent the simple machine called the lever, but he helped explain how the lever works.

4 . A biography on Archimedes was written by a friend of his, Heracleides, but this was later lost.

5 .A lot of the information we have about Archimedes is anecdotal, which means that it is probably based in truth but has been added to with lots of details over thousands of years. For example, the story that Archimedes made an exciting discovery while soaking in his bath tub and ran through the streets naked shouting "Eureka!" ("I have found it!" in Greek) is probably not true!

6 . As a way to honour Archimedes, a crater of the moon has been named after him.

7 . Archimedes was so far ahead of his time in mathematics, it took a further 1800 years before his work was fully understood by Sir Isaac Newton.

8 . Archimedes is credited with inventing the Archimedes screw, a simple machine for moving water that is still used today.

9 . Archimedes was behind the understanding of the formula of density.

10 . It is said that Archimedes enjoyed teasing other mathematicians, giving them the answer to a complex question but not helping them to understand how he had worked it out.

Hope this answer helps you :)
