Right Triangle and Pythagora's theorem

Pythagora's theorem: The two sides a and b of a right triangle and the hypotenuse c are
related by

a2 + b2 = c2

Area and Perimeter of Triangle

Perimeter = a + b + c

There are several formulas for the area.

If the base b and the corresponding height h are known, we use the formula

Area = (1 / 2) * b * h.

If two sides and the angle between them are known, we use one of the formulas,
depending on which side and which angle are known
Area = (1 / 2)* b * c sin A

Area = (1 / 2)* a * c sin B

Area = (1 / 2)* a * b sin C .

If all three sides are known, we may use Heron's formula for the area.

Area = sqrt [ s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) ] , where s = (a + b + c)/2.

Area and Perimeter of Rectangle

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Area = L * W

Area of Parallelogram

Area = b * h
Area of Trapezoid

Area = (1 / 2)(a + b) * h

Circumference of a Circle and Area of a Circular Region

Circumference = 2*Pi*r

Area = Pi*r 2

Arclength and Area of a Circular Sector


Arclength: s = r*t

Area = (1/2) *r 2 * t

where t is the central angle in RADIANS.

Volume and Surface Area of a Rectangular Solid

Volume = L*W*H

Surface Area = 2(L*W + H*W + H*L)

Volume and Surface Area of a Sphere


Volume = (4/3)* Pi * r 3

Surface Area = 4 * Pi * r 2

Volume and Surface Area of a Right Circular Cylinder

Volume = Pi * r 2 * h

Surface Area = 2 * Pi * r * h

Volume and Surface Area of a Right Circular Cone

2
Volume = (1/3)* Pi * r * h

Surface Area = Pi * r * sqrt (r 2 + h 2)

equilateral triangle = (1/4) (3) a2


triangle given SAS = (1/2) a b sin C

triangle given a,b,c = [s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] when s = (a+b+c)/2 (Heron's formula)

regular polygon = (1/2) n sin(360°/n) S2


when n = # of sides and S = length from center to a corner

Volumes

cube = a3

rectangular prism = a b c

irregular prism = b h

cylinder = b h = r2 h

pyramid = (1/3) b h

cone = (1/3) b h = 1/3 r2 h

sphere = (4/3) r3

ellipsoid = (4/3) pi r1 r2 r3

Surface Areas

cube = 6 a2
prism:
    (lateral area) = perimeter(b) L

    (total area) = perimeter(b) L + 2b

sphere = 4 r2

Laws of Exponents
 (am)(an) = am+n
 (ab)m = ambm
 (am)n = amn

 a0 = 1
 (am)/(an) = am-n
 a-m= 1/(am)
