The method is also applied by Terquem to find the expression for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral, and it had previously been applied by Cirodde, P. L. in Nouvelles Annales, I. 117 (1842)Google Scholar, to find the volume of a spherical segment when it is known that the volume a function of the third degree of its height.
