Where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides The solution of ax2 + bx + c = 0 and h is their perpendicular separation: where a ≠ 0 1 Area of a trapezium = (a + b) h 2 b b 2 4ac Volume of a prism = area of cross section × length x= 2a Where r is the radius and d is the diameter:
Circumference of a circle = 2πr = πd
Area of a circle = πr2
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: c a2 + b2 = c2 a c In any right-angled triangle ABC where a a, b and c are the length of the sides and A c is the hypotenuse: b A a b a sin A = = cos A tan A = b c c b
C In any triangle ABC where a, b and c
are the length of the sides: C b a a b c sine rule: = = sin A sin B sin C b a cosine rule: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos A A B c Area of triangle = 1 a b sin C A B 2 c Compound Interest Probability Where P is the principal amount, r is the interest Where P (A) is the probability of outcome A rate over a given period and n is number of times and 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 1 100 P (A and B) = P (A given B) P(B)
