Table of Formulas For Geometry

A table of formulas for geometry, related to area and perimeter of triangles, rectangles, cercles, sectors, and volume of sphere, cone, cylinder are presented.

Right Triangle and Pythagora's theorem

Pythagora's theorem: The two sides a and b of a right triangle and the hypotenuse c are related by

a 2 + b 2 = c 2

Right Triangle

Area and Perimeter of Triangle



Triangle


Perimeter = a + b + c

There are several formulas for the area.

If the base b and the corresponding height h are known, we use the formula

Area = (1 / 2) × b × h.

If two sides and the angle between them are known, we use one of the formulas, depending on which side and which angle are known

Area = (1 / 2) × b × c sin A

Area = (1 / 2) × a × c sin B

Area = (1 / 2) × a × b sin C .

If all three sides are known, we may use Heron's formula for the area.

Area = √ [ s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) ] , where s = (a + b + c)/2.

Area and Perimeter of Rectangle


Rectangle

Perimeter = 2L + 2W
Area = L × W

Area of Parallelogram


Parallelogram

Area = b × h

Area of Trapezoid


Trapezoid

Area = (1 / 2)(a + b) × h

Circumference of a Circle and Area of a Circular Region


Circle

Circumference = 2 × π × r
Area = π × r 2

Arclength and Area of a Circular Sector

Sector


Arclength: s = r × t

Area = (1/2) × r 2 × t

where t is the central angle in
RADIANS.

Volume and Surface Area of a Rectangular Solid


Sector

Volume = L*W*H
Surface Area = 2(L × W + H × W + H × L)

Volume and Surface Area of a Sphere

Sphere

Volume = (4/3) × π × r 3
Surface Area = 4 × π × r 2

Volume and Surface Area of a Right Circular Cylinder

circular cylinder

Volume = π × r 2 × h
Total Surface Area = 2 × π × r × h + 2 × π × r 2

Volume and Surface Area of a Right Circular Cone

right cone

Volume = (1/3) × π × r 2 × h
Surface Area = π × r × √ (r 2 + h 2)
