proof of Brahmagupta’s formula


We shall prove that the area of a cyclic quadrilateralMathworldPlanetmath with sides p,q,r,s is given by

(T-p)(T-q)(T-r)(T-s)

where T=p+q+r+s2.

Area of the cyclic quadrilateral = Area of ADB+ Area of BDC.

=12pqsinA+12rssinC

But since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, DAB=180-DCB.Hence sinA=sinC. Therefore area now is

Area=12pqsinA+12rssinA
(Area)2=14sin2A(pq+rs)2
4(Area)2=(1-cos2A)(pq+rs)2
4(Area)2=(pq+rs)2-cos2A(pq+rs)2

Applying cosines law for ADB and BDC and equating the expressions for side DB, we have

p2+q2-2pqcosA=r2+s2-2rscosC

Substituting cosC=-cosA (since angles A and C are suppplementary) and rearranging, we have

2cosA(pq+rs)=p2+q2-r2-s2

substituting this in the equation for area,

4(Area)2=(pq+rs)2-14(p2+q2-r2-s2)2
16(Area)2=4(pq+rs)2-(p2+q2-r2-s2)2

which is of the form a2-b2 and hence can be written in the form (a+b)(a-b) as

(2(pq+rs)+p2+q2-r2-s2)(2(pq+rs)-p2-q2+r2+s2)
=((p+q)2-(r-s)2)((r+s)2-(p-q)2)
=(p+q+r-s)(p+q+s-r)(p+r+s-q)(q+r+s-p)

Introducing T=p+q+r+s2,

16(Area)2=16(T-p)(T-q)(T-r)(T-s)

Taking square root, we get

Area=(T-p)(T-q)(T-r)(T-s)
