A Historical Trigonometric Method for Mensuration of Quadrilaterals
The manuscript Persan 169 of the Bibliothèque nationale de France includes a short Persian chapter related to the mensuration of quadrilateral. The method presented in this part is basically trigonometric. In this reading, we will have a glance at the history of the formulas for the area of quadrilateral, then we will read the text and finally, we will see the method from a historical perspective.
