Abstract:
The Heron formula relates the area of an Euclidean triangle to its side lengths. Indian mathematician and astronomer Brahmagupta, in the seventh century, gave the analogous formulas for a convex cyclic quadrilateral. Several non-Euclidean versions of the Heron theorem have been known for a long time.
In this paper we consider a convex hyperbolic quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, horocycle or one branch of an equidistant curve. This is a natural hyperbolic analog of the cyclic quadrilateral in the Euclidean plane. We find a few versions of the Brahmahupta formula for such quadrilaterals.
