#0, Mahavira's formula for cyclic quadrilaterals
Posted by melefthe on Apr-11-07 at 07:21 PM
Does anyone know the proof of Mahavira's formulae for the calculation of the inner diagonals of the cyclic quadrilaterals? Presumably, they must be a continuation of Ptolemy's theorem. They are:

x=Sq.Root and symmetrically for y.

Thanks.
