Basic Formulas and Concepts for Interview

1. Mensuration Formulas
- Area of Triangle = (1/2) * base * height
- Perimeter of Triangle = sum of all sides
- Area of Rectangle = length * breadth
- Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 * (length + breadth)
- Area of Trapezium = (1/2) * (sum of parallel sides) * height
- Volume of Cube = side^3
- Volume of Cylinder = 3.1416 * radius^2 * height

2. Basic Trigonometry
- sin 90 degrees = 1
- cos 30 degrees = sqrt(3)/2
- tan 45 degrees = 1
- sin^2(theta) + cos^2(theta) = 1
- 1 + tan^2(theta) = sec^2(theta)
- 1 + cot^2(theta) = cosec^2(theta)

3. Basic Geometry
- Orthogonal means perpendicular (90-degree angle).
- Incenter of a triangle: Intersection of angle bisectors.
- Centroid: Intersection of medians (divides in 2:1 ratio).
- Circumcenter: Intersection of perpendicular bisectors.
- Hypotenuse in Right Triangle = sqrt(base^2 + height^2) (Pythagoras theorem).

4. Permutation and Combination


- Permutation (arrangement): P(n, r) = n! / (n-r)!
- Combination (selection): C(n, r) = n! / [r! * (n-r)!]
- Factorial: n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * ... * 1

5. Extra Tips for Quick Solving


- **Mensuration Tips:**
- Always check units before solving.
- In composite figures, break them into known shapes.
- The diagonal of a rectangle = sqrt(l^2 + b^2).

- **Trigonometry Shortcuts:**
- sin 30 degrees = 1/2, cos 60 degrees = 1/2, tan 45 degrees = 1.
- For small angles, sin x is approximately x (in radians).

- **Geometry Key Points:**


- The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
- In an equilateral triangle, each angle is 60 degrees.
- A parallelogram's opposite angles are equal, and diagonals bisect each other.

- **Permutation & Combination Tricks:**


- If repetition is allowed in arrangements: n^r.
- If order does not matter, use combinations.
- nCr = nC(n-r) (Useful for large values).
