Geometry Flashcards
Sum of interior angles of a polygon
S = (n-2)180°
Each interior angle in a regular polygon
θ = ((n-2)180°)/n
Distance between two points
D = √((x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²)
Area of triangle inscribed in a circle, At
At = abc/4r
-where a,b,c = sides of the triangle
r = radius of circle
Area of triangle circumscribing a circle, At
At = rS
-where r = radius of circle
S = semiperimeter of triangle
Formula for semiperimeter, S
S = (1/2)(perimeter)
Hero’s formula
At = √(S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c))
-where At = area of triangle
S = semiperimeter of triangle
a,b,c = sides of triangle
Latus rectum of ellipse
2b²/a
-b = length between center and midpoint of major axis
-a = half of major axis. Length from center to vertex
Eccentricity, e, of ellipse
e = c/a = a/d = ( √(a²-b²) ) / a
-c = length from center to focus
-d = length from center to directrix
Area of a trapezoid
( (a+b) / 2 ) * h
Volume of a sphere
(4/3)πr³
Surface area of a sphere
4πr²
Volume of a pyramid
(1/3)Ah
-A = base area
Volume of a cone
(1/3) πr²h
