Formula
Rectangle:
Area = Length X Width
A = lw
Perimeter = 2 X Lengths + 2 X Widths
P = 2l + 2w
Parallelogram
Area = Base X Height
a = bh
Triangle
Area = 1/2 of the base X the height
a = 1/2 bh
Perimeter = a + b + c
(add the length of the three sides)
Trapezoid
Perimeter = area + b1 + b2 + c
P = a + b1 + b2 + c
Circle Try the Online tool.
The distance around the circle is a
circumference. The distance across
the circle is the diameter (d). The
radius (r) is the distance from the
center to a point on the circle. (Pi =
3.14) More aboutcircles.
d = 2r
c = d = 2 r
A = r2

Rectangular Solid
Volume = Length X Width X Height
V = lwh
Surface = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Prisms
Volume = Base X Height
v=bh
Surface = 2b + Ph (b is the area of
the base P is the perimeter of the
base)

Cylinder
Volume = r2 x height
V = r2 h
Surface = 2 radius x height
S = 2rh + 2r2

Pyramid
V = 1/3 bh
b is the area of the base
Surface Area: Add the area of the
base to the sum of the areas of all of
the triangular faces. The areas of the
triangular faces will have different
formulas for different shaped bases.
Cones
Volume = 1/3 r2 x height
V= 1/3 r2h
Surface = r2 + rs
S = r2 + rs
=r2+r

Sphere
Volume = 4/3 r3
V = 4/3 r3
Surface = 4r2
S = 4r2
