Formulas for Two Dimensional Geometrical Figures

Square
(https://www.sugarprocesstech.com/perimeter-area-formulas-geometrical-figures/)

Side for square = a & Length of diagonal = d

Area of the square = A = side 2 = a 2 = (1/2) d 2

Perimeter of the square = P = 4 × side = 4 a

Length of diagonal = d =

Rectangle
(https://www.sugarprocesstech.com/perimeter-area-formulas-geometrical-
figures/)Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width) = 2 (a + b)

Area of the rectangle = length × width = ab

Length of diagonal ( d ) = √ (a 2 + b 2 )

Rhombus
(https://www.sugarprocesstech.com/perimeter-area-formulas-geometrical-
figures/)For Rhombus all sides are equal = a, Vertical Height = d & h1, h2
are the diagonals also AB || DC , AD || BC

Perimeter of rhombus = 4a

Area of the Rhombus = ad = (1/2) d1 d2

Parallelogram
(https://www.sugarprocesstech.com/perimeter-area-formulas-geometrical-figures/)

Area of parallelogram = base × height = a x h

Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 × (side1 + side2) = 2 ( a + b)

Trapezium (Trapezoid)
(https://www.sugarprocesstech.com/perimeter-area-formulas-geometrical-figures/)

In trapezium two sides are in parallel,

Area of Trapezium or Trapezoid =

Perimeter of Trapezium or Trapezoid =

Triangle

triangle (https://www.sugarprocesstech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Triangle-area-
perimeter-formulas-sugarprocesstech-.jpg)

Area of the triangle = (1/2) x Base x Height =

Area of the triangle =

Where Semi perimeter =

Radius of incircle triangle = Area /S

Formulas for equilateral triangle

Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 x Side = 3a

2
Area of the equilateral triangle = = 0.433 x (side)

Radius of circumference circle of an equilateral triangle = =

Area of circumference circle of an equilateral triangle =

Radius of incircle of an equilateral triangle = = a / (2 √3)

In above figure ABC is a right angle triangle x = length of adjacent side, y = length of hypotenuse & h = height of the
triangle.

Pythagoras’ Law –

Area of the right angle triangle =

Sin β = h / y ⇒ h = y Sin β

Cos β = x / y ⇒ x = y Cos β

Tan β = h / x ⇒ h = x Tan β

Cosine Law

c = a + b – 2 ab Cos γ

b2 = a2 + c2 – 2 ac Cos β

a 2 = b2 + c 2 – 2 bc Cos α

Formulas for Area and circumference of the circle

2 2
Area of a circle (A ) = π x (Radius) = π r = ( π/4 ) D 2 = 0.7854 x D 2

Diameter of a circle (D) =

Circumference of a circle ( C ) = 2 π x Radius = 2 π r = π D

Area of circle =( 1/2) x Circumference x radius = (1/2) x C x r

Formula for Arc and sector of a circle

Arc length of circle ( l ) =

Area of the sector (minor) =

If the angle θ is in radians mean one radian = 180/π , then

The area of the sector =

Sector angle of a circle θ =

Segment of circle and perimeter of segment

Area of the segment =

Perimeter of the segment =

Arc Length of the circle segment = l = 0.01745 x r x θ

Chord length of the circle = =

Area of the circular ring

2
Area of a circular ring = = (π/4) ( D – d 2) = 0.7854 (D 2
– d 2)
2 2
Area of a circular ring = π (R – r )

Ellipse
(https://www.sugarprocesstech.com/perimeter-area-formulas-geometrical-figures/)

D = Diameter of higher half-axis & d = Diameter of lower half-axis

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_and_semi-minor_axes)

Area of an Ellipse = = 0.7854 x D x d

D = 2 x radius = 2 m , d = 2 x radius = 2 n

Perimeter of an Ellipse (Formula – 1) ≈

Perimeter of an Ellipse (Formula – 2) ≈

Both formulas gives approximate values but the formula- 2 gives better approch which is derived by Indian mathematician
Ramanujan
