Geometry Unit 13
P - Perimeter of a Base
C - Circumference of a base
l = slant height
r = radiu
B = area of base
Surface Area Formulas
Cylinder - C(h) + 2B
Cone - B + πrl
Pyramid - B + 1/2 (P)(l)
Sphere - 4πr^2
Hemisphere (no lid) - 2πr^2
Hemisphere (lid) - 3πr^2
Volume Formulas
Volume of a prism/cylinder - V = Bh
Volume of a cone/pyramid - V = Bh/3
Volume of a sphere - V = 4/3πr^3
Volume of a Hemisphere - V = 2/3πr^3
Formula for Brahmagupta's:
(A + B + C + D)/2 = S
Area = √(S-A)(S-B)(S-C)(S-D)
Heron's formula:
A = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)), where s = (a+b+c)/2.
Formula for area of equilateral triangle:
(sqrt(3)/4) x (side length)^2
Kites & Rhombuses
have perpendicular diagonals. Therefore, we can use the following formula to find the area. Hint: may have to use Pythagorean theorem to find diagonals.
1/2(d1)(d2) Diagonal
Find the area of a SEGMENT:
Find the area of the sector
Find the area of the triangle (may have to find height)
Subtract the area of triangle from the sector
Area of sector = (Percent of circle/360) x πr²
