Polygons and Angles

TrianglesTypeFormulas and/ Or Measures
Interior Angles: add up to 180 degreesX +50+100=180
Angle 1 is up top, going clockwise is Angle 2 (where exterior angle is), Angle 3 is the last angle. Y is Exterior AngleExterior Angles :of a Tri. = to the sum of the two interior angles that are not adjacent to that exterior angle.y= angle 1 and angle 2
Easy Peasy Perimeter :of any Polygon = add all sides6+8+4=18cm
The height is the perpendicular: distance between the sides that’s chosen as the base and the opposite vertex.Area of triangle=1/2 (base) (height)
Similar Triangles :have the same shape, although different shapes.Corresponding angles are =Corresponding sides are proportionala/p=b/q=c/rimage displays angle equivalents
Isosceles :has 2 equal sides Angles opposite from the equal sides, are called base angles.AB=AC Then, <ABC=<ACB
Equilateral triangles: has 3 equal sides All three angles are =All angles in a equilateral triangle measure 60 degrees, regardless of length of sides.
Every right Triangle has exactly 2 acute triangles Legs- are sides opposite to the acute angle Hypotenuse- side opposite to right anglePythagorean Theorem=a^2 + b^2=c^2
QuadrilateralsQuad- TypeMeasurements and/ or Formulas
Add all sides for perimetera+b+c+d=perimeter
:Two sets of parallel sides Opposite sides are =Opposite angles are =Adjacent angles add up tp 180Area= (base)(height)
Rectangle:A parallelogram w/ 4 right anglesOpposite sides are =Area= (length) (width)Perimeter= 2(l+w)
Rhombus:Has 4 =sidesOpposite sides are parallel to one anotherPerimeter=4s
Square:4 =sidesArea= (side)^2P=4s
Trapezoid : ab||cda quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides.Bases- 2 parallel sides of a trapezoidThe formula of the area=1/2 (sum of the lengths of the base)(height)Example: 1/2 (a+b)(h)=area

  • Circumference:= 2(pier)=(pie*d)
  • Area of a circle:= Pie*r^2

Solid Geometry

  • Volume of a rectangular solid box (3D):= lwh

  • Surface area of box:= 2lw+2wh+2lh

  • Volume of a cylinder (3D):= pie*r^2h

  • To find the surface area of any 3 dimensional figure:add the areas of each side of the figure.

    Accordingly, finding the surface area of a cylinder involves adding the area of both of the circular ends to the area of the curved side. Note that, if the sides of a cylinder were “unrolled”, they’d form a rectangle.

  • Formula for surface area of a cylinder is SA:= 2(pie*r^2)+2(pie)rh
