Numbers
Lowest common multiple (LCM): The lowest common multiple is the lowest multiple shared by 2 or more
numbers.

Trial and Improvement

This is a method of trying different values in an equation until you get a suitable solution (e.g to 1 decimal
place).

1 ml = 1 cm3

Perimeter, Area and Volume

B B

The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the rectangle. It is found by adding the
lengths of the 4 sides of the rectangle.

P = 2L + 2B where P is perimeter, L is length and B is breadth.

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length of the rectangle by the breadth.

A = L × B where L is length and B is breadth.

The volume of a cuboid is found by multiplying the length by the breadth by the height of the cuboid.

V = L × B × H where V is volume, L is length, B is breadth and H is height.

The area of a circle is A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle.

The circumference (perimeter) of a circle is C = 2πr where r is the radius of the circle. An alternative
formula is C = πd where d is the diameter of the circle.

Mid point of a line

If (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the end points of a line, then the coordinates of the midpoint M of the line are

Jx1 + x2 , y1 + y2JK
M =K
L 2 2
L

Gradient of a line
If (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on a line, then the gradient m of the line is

y2 – y1
m = x2 – x1

Lines
Parallel lines have the same gradient.

If a straight line has gradient m, then a line which is perpendicular to this line has a gradient – m

Geometry and Angles

There are 180° on a straight line.

There are 180° inside a triangle.
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles.
The sum of all the angles inside a polygon is given by 180(n – 2) where n is the number of sides in the
polygon.

Angle of depression
If a person stands and looks down at an object, the angle of depression is the angle between the
horizontal line of sight and the object.

Tangent/Radius property

The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact with the circle.

Alternate Segment Theorem

In a circle, the angle between a chord and a tangent through one of the end points of the chord is equal
to the angle in the alternate segment.

Range
The range of a set of data is the difference between the largest value and the smallest value in the data
set.

Mean

The mean of a set of data is the sum of all the data values divided by the number of data values.

Estimate for the mean of a grouped frequency distribution

Estimated mean = sum of (mid interval values multiplied by their frequency) divided by the sum of all the
frequencies.

Pie Chart

In a pie chart, the total angle that corresponds to the entire data set is 360°

Probability

The sum of the probabilities of all outcomes equals 1
