 Brahmagupta's Formula:
So that the approximate value of the area of this cyclic quadrilateral will be letting it the exact value of the area is
 Statement:
The approximate area is the product of the halves of the sums of the sides and opposite sides of a triangle and a quadrilateral. The accurate [area] is the square root from the product of the halves of the sums of the sides diminished by [each] side of the quadrilateral
