Practical Calculus Flashcards
Area of a circle
A=pi*r^2
Volume of a sphere
V=(4/3)pi*r^3
Volume of a cone
V=(1/3)pi* h * r^2
How do you remove variables from shapes that are within other shapes?
Slice shape in half to deal with 2d shapes, acknowledge the similar triangles. Build proportions off of that.
When in doubt:
Decrease the number of variables. It may be possible even if you don’t realize.
What does isosceles mean?
Having two sides of equal length.
Watch out for:
Units changing. Make sure you change the units on the spot.
Volume of a trapezoidal prism
V= (1/2) * (b_1 + b_2) * h * L
Area of trapezoid
A=0.5(b_1 + b_1) * h
What do you always do
Draw the situation
Surface area of a sphere
A = 4pi*r^2
When you see angles:
Build a trig equation
