Perimeter, area and volume

Where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is their perpendicular separation:
1
Area of a trapezium = (a + b) h
2
Volume of a prism = area of cross section × length

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:

a2 + b2 = c2
c
In any right-angled triangle ABC where a, b and c
a
are the length of the sides and c is the hypotenuse:

A a b a
sin A= cos A= tan A=
c c b
b

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:
P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B)
n
r
Total accrued = P 1 +( 100 )
