Formulas for Two Dimensional Geometrical Figures
Square
Side for square = a & Length of diagonal = d
Area of the square = A = side2 = a2 = (1/2) d2
Perimeter of the square = P = 4 × side = 4 a
Length of diagonal = d =
Rectangle
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width) = 2 (a + b)
Area of the rectangle = length × width = ab
Length of diagonal ( d ) = √ (a2 + b2)
Rhombus
For Rhombus all sides are equal = a, Vertical Height = d & h1, h2 are the diagonals also AB || DC , AD || BC
Perimeter of rhombus = 4a
Area of the Rhombus = ad = (1/2) d1 d2
Parallelogram
Area of parallelogram = base × height = a x h
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 × (side1 + side2) = 2 ( a + b)
Trapezium (Trapezoid)
In trapezium two sides are in parallel,
Area of Trapezium or Trapezoid =
Perimeter of Trapezium or Trapezoid =
Triangle
Formulas for triangle
Area of the triangle = (1/2) x Base x Height =
Area of the triangle =
Where Semi perimeter =
Radius of incircle triangle = Area /S
Formulas for equilateral triangle
Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 x Side = 3a
Area of the equilateral triangle = = 0.433 x (side) 2
Radius of circumference circle of an equilateral triangle = =
Area of circumference circle of an equilateral triangle =
Radius of incircle of an equilateral triangle = =
a / (2 √3)
Formulas for Right Angle Triangle & Formula for length of a triangle when given by one side and angle
In above figure ABC is a right angle triangle x = length of adjacent side, y = length of hypotenuse & h = height of the triangle.
Pythagoras’ Law –
Area of the right angle triangle =
Sin β = h / y ⇒ h = y Sin β
Cos β = x / y ⇒ x = y Cos β
Tan β = h / x ⇒ h = x Tan β
Cosine Law
c 2 = a 2 + b 2 – 2 ab Cos γ
b2 = a2 + c2 – 2 ac Cos β
a2 = b2 + c2 – 2 bc Cos α
Sine Law
Area of a Triangle
Circle
Formulas for Area and circumference of the circle
Area of a circle (A ) = π x (Radius) 2 = π r 2 = ( π/4 ) D2 = 0.7854 x D2
Diameter of a circle (D) =
Circumference of a circle ( C ) = 2 π x Radius = 2 π r = π D
Area of circle =( 1/2) x Circumference x radius = (1/2) x C x r
Formula for Arc and sector of a circle
Arc length of circle ( l ) =
Area of the sector (minor) =
If the angle θ is in radians mean one radian = 180/π , then
The area of the sector =
Sector angle of a circle θ =
Segment of circle and perimeter of segment
Area of the segment =
Perimeter of the segment =
Arc Length of the circle segment = l = 0.01745 x r x θ
Chord length of the circle = =
Area of the circular ring
Area of a circular ring = = (π/4) ( D 2 – d 2) = 0.7854 (D 2 – d 2)
Area of a circular ring = π (R 2 – r 2 )
Ellipse
D = Diameter of higher half-axis & d = Diameter of lower half-axis
Area of an Ellipse = = 0.7854 x D x d
D = 2 x radius = 2 m , d = 2 x radius = 2 n
Perimeter of an Ellipse (Formula – 1) ≈
Perimeter of an Ellipse (Formula – 2) ≈
Both formulas gives approximate values but the formula- 2 gives better approch which is derived by Indian mathematician Ramanujan
