It must have been calculated with the help of the rule given in the \*Sulba\* for that purpose. So that $36/(√3) × ½(24/(√3) + 30/(√3)) = 36/3 × 54/2 = 324.$ $12√3 × ½(8√3 + 10√3) = 12 × 3 × 9 = 324$ - [Previous: c20.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c20.6) - [Next: c20.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c20.8) - [Up: c20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c20.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c20.7) · Pramāṇa
