Geometry - Things To Remember!

Basic Geometry Formulas

  • Perimeter of a Square = P = 4a

Where a = Length of the sides of a Square

  • Perimeter of a Rectangle = P = 2(l+b)

Where, l = Length ; b = Breadth

  • Area of a Square = A = a2

Where a = Length of the sides of a Square

  • Area of a Rectangle = A = l×b

Where, l = Length ; b = Breadth

  • Area of a Triangle = A = ½×b×h

Where, b = base of the triangle; h = height of the triangle

  • Area of a Trapezoid = A = ½×(b1 + b2)×h

Where b1 & b2 are the bases of the Trapezoid; h = height of the Trapezoid

  • Area of a Circle = A = π×r2
  • Circumference of a Circle = A = 2πr

Where, r = Radius of the Circle

  • Surface Area of a Cube = S = 6a2

Where, a = Length of the sides of a Cube

  • Curved surface area of a Cylinder  = 2πrh
  • Total surface area of a Cylinder = 2πr(r + h)
  • Volume of a Cylinder = V = πr2h

Where, r = Radius of the base of the Cylinder; h = Height of the Cylinder

  • Curved surface area of a cone =  πrl
  • Total surface area of a cone = πr(r+l) = πr[r+√(h2+r2)]
  • Volume of a Cone = V = ⅓×πr2h

Where, r = Radius of the base of the Cone, h = Height of the Cone

  • Surface Area of a Sphere = S = 4πr2
  • Volume of a Sphere = V = 4/3×πr3

Where, r = Radius of the Sphere
