Perimeter, area and volume Quadratic formula
Where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides The solution of ax 2 + bx + c = 0 and h is their perpendicular separation: where a ≠ 0
1 Area of a trapezium = (a + b) h 2 – b ± b2 – 4ac x= Volume of a prism = area of cross section × length 2a
Where r is the radius and d is the diameter:
Circumference of a circle = 2π r = π d Area of a circle = π r 2
Pythagoras’ Theorem and Trigonometry
In any right-angled triangle where a, b and c are the length of the sides and c is the hypotenuse:
a2 + b2 = c2
In any right-angled triangle ABC where a, b and c
are the length of the sides and c is the hypotenuse:
a b a sin A = cos A = tan A = c c b
In any triangle ABC where a, b and c are the
length of the sides:
a b c sine rule: = = sin A sin B sin C
cosine rule: a 2 = b 2 + c 2 – 2bc cos A
1 Area of triangle = a b sin C 2
Compound Interest Probability
Where P is the principal amount, r is the interest Where P (A) is the probability of outcome A and rate over a given period and n is number of times P (B) is the probability of outcome B: that the interest is compounded:
n P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B)
r Total accrued = P 1 + P (A and B) = P (A given B) P(B) 100
