In problem 52 of the Rhind papyrus, we consider the quadrilateral field with two sides parallel; its area follows by substituting in the formula % (a + c) h, where h is the distance between the parallel sides.
In the review of Peet (1923, 2), Gunn (1926) states that J. H. Cole of the Egyptian Survey Department had informed him that the methods of calculating the area of four- and three-sided fields exhibited by the Edfu inscription are precisely those used by Egyptian natives to-day.
