Brahmagupta illustrated the construction of several figures with arbitrary sides. He tried to construct figures such as isosceles triangles, scalene triangles, rectangles, isosceles trapezoids, isosceles trapezoids with three equal sides, and scalene cyclic quadrilateral, mainly, with the help of right triangles. He also gave the volume and surface area of some figures, after estimating the value of π. He found the volume of rectangular prisms, pyramids and frustum of a square pyramid. He further proposed the average depth of a series of pits.
