N2 - We give an overview old and recent results on areas and volumes in hyperbolicand spherical geometries. First, we observe the known results about Heron’s and Ptolemy’s theorems. Then we present non-Euclidean analogues of the Brahmagupta’s theorem for a cyclic quadrilateral. We produce also hyperbolic and spherical versions of the Bretschneider’s formula for the area of a quadrilateral. We give hyperbolic and spherical analogues of the Casey’s theorem which is a generalization of the Ptolemy’s equation. We give a short historical review of volume calculations for non-Euclidean polyhedra. Then we concentrateon recent results concerning Seidel’s problem on the volume of an ideal tetrahedron, Sforza’s formula for a compact tetrahedron in H3 or S3 and volumes of non-Euclidean octahedra with symmetries
