The preface addressed to Dositheus is of some length and contains, first, a tribute to the memory of Conon, and next a summary of the theorems about the sphere and the conoids and spheroids included in the above two treatises.
Archimedes first explains what his conoids and spheroids are, and then, after each description, states the main results which it is the aim of the treatise to prove.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "spheroids" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
