  2. Heron's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_formula

    Heron's formula is a special case of Brahmagupta's formula for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral. Heron's formula and Brahmagupta's formula are both special cases of Bretschneider's formula for the area of a quadrilateral. Heron's formula can be obtained from Brahmagupta's formula or Bretschneider's formula by setting one of the sides of the ...

  3. Brahmagupta's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta's_formula

    This formula generalizes Heron's formula for the area of a triangle. A triangle may be regarded as a quadrilateral with one side of length zero. From this perspective, as d approaches zero, a cyclic quadrilateral converges into a cyclic triangle (all triangles are cyclic), and Brahmagupta's formula simplifies to Heron's formula.

  4. Heronian triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heronian_triangle

    In geometry, a Heronian triangle (or Heron triangle) is a triangle whose side lengths a, b, and c and area A are all positive integers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Heronian triangles are named after Heron of Alexandria , based on their relation to Heron's formula which Heron demonstrated with the example triangle of sides 13, 14, 15 and area 84 .

    The above formula is known as the shoelace formula or the surveyor's formula. If we locate the vertices in the complex plane and denote them in counterclockwise sequence as a = x A + y A i , b = x B + y B i , and c = x C + y C i , and denote their complex conjugates as a ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {a}}} , b ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {b}}} , and c ...

  6. Cayley–Menger determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley–Menger_determinant

    Menger extended Cayley's algebraic results to propose a new axiom of metric spaces using the concepts of distance geometry up to congruence equivalence, known as the Cayley–Menger determinant. This ended up generalising one of the first discoveries in distance geometry, Heron's formula, which computes the area of a triangle given its side ...

    The bricks were then designed to be of the shape of the constituent rectangle and the layer was created. To form the next layer, the same formula was used, but the bricks were arranged transversely. [48] The process was then repeated three more times (with alternating directions) in order to complete the construction.

  8. Brahmagupta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta

    Brahmagupta (c. 598 – c. 668 CE) was an Indian mathematician and astronomer.He is the author of two early works on mathematics and astronomy: the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta (BSS, "correctly established doctrine of Brahma", dated 628), a theoretical treatise, and the Khandakhadyaka ("edible bite", dated 665), a more practical text.

  9. Bretschneider's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretschneider's_formula

    Bretschneider's formula generalizes Brahmagupta's formula for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral, which in turn generalizes Heron's formula for the area of a triangle.. The trigonometric adjustment in Bretschneider's formula for non-cyclicality of the quadrilateral can be rewritten non-trigonometrically in terms of the sides and the diagonals e and f to give [2] [3]
