This is an incomplete list of formulas used in geometry.
Length
[edit | edit source]Perimeter and Circumference
[edit | edit source]Polygon
[edit | edit source]- Sum the lengths of the sides.
Circle
[edit | edit source]-
- is the diameter
- is the radius
Triangles
[edit | edit source]- Law of Sines:
- are sides, are the angles corresponding to respectively.
- Law of Cosines:
- are sides, are the angles corresponding to respectively.
Right Triangles
[edit | edit source]- Pythagorean Theorem:
- are sides where c is greater than other two.
Area
[edit | edit source]Triangles
[edit | edit source]-
- = base, = height (perpendicular to base), = area
- Heron's Formula:
- are sides, and , = area
Equilateral Triangles
[edit | edit source]-
- is a side
Quadrilaterals
[edit | edit source]Squares
[edit | edit source]-
- is the length of the square's side
Rectangles
[edit | edit source]-
- and are the sides of the rectangle
Parallelograms
[edit | edit source]-
- is the base, is the height
Trapezoids
[edit | edit source]-
- are the two bases, is the height
Circles
[edit | edit source]-
- is the radius
Surface Areas
[edit | edit source]- Cube: 6×()
- is the length of a side.
- Rectangular Prism: 2×(( × ) + ( × ) + ( × ))
- , , and are the length, width, and height of the prism
- Sphere: 4×π×(2)
- is the radius of the sphere
- Cylinder: 2×π××( + )
- is the radius of the circular base, and is the height
- Pyramid:
- = Surface area, = Area of the Base, = Perimeter of the base, = slant height.
- The surface area of a regular pyramid can also be determined based only on the number of sides(), the radius() or side length(), and the height()
- If is known, is defined as
- or if is known, is defined as
- The slant height is given by
- The total surface area of the pyramid is given by
- Cone: π×r×(r + √(r2 + h2))
- is the radius of the circular base, and is the height.
Volume
[edit | edit source]- Cube
- s = length of a side
- Rectangular Prism
- l = length, w = width, h = height
- Cylinder(Circular Prism)
- r = radius of circular face, h = distance between faces
- Any prism that has a constant cross sectional area along the height:
- A = area of the base, h = height
- Sphere:
- r = radius of sphere
- Ellipsoid:
- a, b, c = semi-axes of ellipsoid
- Pyramid:
- A = area of base, h = height from base to apex
- Cone (circular-based pyramid):
- r = radius of circle at base, h = distance from base to tip
