Area of a Circle

A=πr2
 π is a constant that can, for the
purposes of the SAT, be written as 3.14
(or 3.14159)
 r is the radius of the circle (any line
drawn from the center point straight to
the edge of the circle)

Circumference of a Circle

C=2πr (or C=πd)  d is the diameter of the circle. It is a line


that bisects the circle through the
midpoint and touches two ends of the
circle on opposite sides. It is twice the
radius.

Area of a Rectangle

A=lw
 l is the length of the rectangle
 w is the width of the rectangle

Area of a Triangle

b is the length of the base of triangle (the edge


of one side)

 h is the height of the triangle


o In a right triangle, the height is
the same as a side of the 90-
degree angle. For non-right
triangles, the height will drop
down through the interior of the
triangle, as shown above.
The Pythagorean Theorem

a2+b2=c2
 In a right triangle, the two smaller sides
(a and b) are each squared. Their sum
is the equal to the square of the
hypotenuse (c, longest side of the
triangle).

Properties of Special Right Triangle: Isosceles Triangle

 An isosceles triangle has two sides that


are equal in length and two equal angles
opposite those sides.
 An isosceles right triangle always has a
90-degree angle and two 45 degree
angles.
 The side lengths are determined by the
formula: x, x, x√2, with the hypotenuse
(side opposite 90 degrees) having a
length of one of the smaller sides *√2.
o E.g., An isosceles right triangle
may have side lengths of 12, 12,
and 12√2.

Properties of Special Right Triangle: 30, 60, 90 Degree Triangle

o The side opposite 30 degrees is


the smallest, with a measurement
of x.
o The side opposite 60 degrees is
the middle length, with a
measurement of x√3.
o The side opposite 90 degree is
the hypotenuse (longest side),
 A 30, 60, 90 triangle describes the with a length of 2x.
degree measures of the triangle's three o For example, a 30-60-90 triangle
angles. may have side lengths of 5, 5√3,
 The side lengths are determined by the and 10.
formula: x, x√3, and 2x
Volume of a Rectangular Solid

 l is the length of one of the sides.


 h is the height of the figure.
 w is the width of one of the sides.

V=lwh

Volume of a Cylinder

V=πr2h
 r is the radius of the circular side of the
cylinder.
 h is the height of the cylinder.

Volume of a Sphere

V=(4/3)πr3

 r is the radius of the sphere.


Volume of a Cone

 r is the radius of the circular side of the


cone.
 h is the height of the pointed part of the
cone (as measured from the center of
the circular part of the cone).

Volume of a Pyramid

l is the length of one of the edges of the


rectangular part of the pyramid.

 h is the height of the figure at its peak


(as measured from the center of the
rectangular part of the pyramid).
 w is the width of one of the edges of the
rectangular part of the pyramid.

Law: the number of degrees in a circle is 360

Average formula:

Let a1,a2,a3,......,an be a set of numbers, average = (a1 + a2 + a3,+......+ an)/n

Fractions formulas:
Converting an improper fraction to a mixed number:

Formula for a proportion:

In a proportion, the product of the extremes (ad) equal the product of the means(bc),

Thus, ad = bc

Percent:

Percent to fraction: x% = x/100

Percentage formula: Rate/100 = Percentage/base

Rate: The percent.


Base: The amount you are taking the percent of.
Percentage: The answer obtained by multiplying the base by the rate

Discount = list price × discount rate


Interest = principal × rate of interest × time
Sale price = list price − discount
Tips = cost of meals × tip rate
Discount rate = discount ÷ list price
Commission = cost of service × commission
Sales tax = price of item × tax rate rate
