In Euclidean geometry, Brahmagupta's formula finds the area of any cyclic quadrilateral (one that can be inscribed in a circle) given the lengths of the sides. == Formula == Brahmagupta's formula gives the area ''K'' of a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides have lengths ''a'', ''b'', ''c'', ''d'' as : where ''s'', the semiperimeter, is defined to be : 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. If the semiperimeter is not used, Brahmagupta's formula is : Another equivalent version is : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brahmagupta's formula」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
