Brahmagupta’s Formula for the Area of a Cyclic 4-gon A 4-gon means a Quadrilateral Ancient Indian mathematician Brahmagupta discovered that for a cyclic 4-gon (i.e. a cyclic quadrilateral) with sides a, b, c, d " Area "=√((𝒔−𝒂)(𝒔−𝒃)(𝒔−𝒄)(𝒔−𝒅)) Where Semi-perimeter = 𝒔=(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 + 𝒅)/𝟐 Let’s do some examples
