Geometry Formulas

This document provides formulas for calculating the perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of common shapes. Formulas are given for rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids, circles, rectangular solids, prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres. The formulas use measurements of lengths, widths, heights, radii, diameters, and circumferences to calculate perimeter, area, surface area, and volume.

FORMULAS FOR PERIMETER, AREA, SURFACE, VOLUME

Shapes Formulas

Rectangle
Area = Length X Width
A = lw

Perimeter = 2 X Lengths + 2 X Widths P


= 2l + 2w
Parallelogram
Area = Base X Height
A = bh

Perimeter = add the length of all sides P


= 2a + 2b
Triangle
Area = 1/2 of the base X the
height
A bh

Perimeter = a + b + c
(add the length of the three sides)
Trapezoid
Area = 1/2 of the base X
the height
A= ( h

Perimeter = add lengths of all sides


P = a + b1 + b2 + c
Circle
Radius = the distance from the center
to a point on the circle (r).

Diameter = the distance between two


points on the circle through the center (d
= 2r).

Circumference = the distance around


the circle (C = d = 2r).
(Assume  ≈ 3.14)

Area = r2

Rectangular Solid
Volume = Length X Width X Height
V = lwh

Surface = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

FORMULAS FOR PERIMETER, AREA, SURFACE, VOLUME


Prisms
Volume = Base X Height
V = bh

Surface = 2b + Ph (b is the area of the


base P is the perimeter of the base)

Cylinder
Volume = r2 X height
V = r2 h

Surface = 2 radius X height


S = 2rh + 2r2

Pyramid
Volume = 1/3 area of the base
X height V = bh b is the area of
the base

Surface Area: Add the area of the base


to the sum of the areas of all of the
triangular faces. The areas of the
triangular faces will have different
formulas for different shaped bases.
Cones
Volume = 1/3 area of the
base x height
V= h

Surface
S = r2 + rs

Sphere

Volume

V=

Surface S
= 4r2
