Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Greek mathematician Euclid, who studied with Archimedes, wrote a famous book on Geometry called Elements.

On the other hand, Archimedes wrote the treatise "On Floating Bodies," in which he explained how floating objects are supported by an upward force, called buoyancy, that corresponds with the weight of liquid they displace.
