Abstract
In the last episode of this series, we stated and proved Ptolemy’s theorem. We also showcased a few elegant applications of the theorem. In this episode, we study more such applications. We also state and prove a related theorem which is associated with the names of the ancient Indian mathematicians Brahmagupta (7th century), Mahavira (9th century) and Paramesvara (15th century).
