objectsn = total number of objects from which
objects can be selected
Fractions
(a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b) * (d/c)
Percents
Percent Change, as a decimal = (New - Old)/OldN = (1 + G)O; N = New Value, 0 = Old Value, G = Growth Rate as decimal

Number Properties
(Odd)(Even) = Even(Odd)(Odd) = Odd(Even)(Even) = Even(Odd) ± (Even) = Odd(Odd) ± (Odd) = Even(Even) ± (Even) = Even(Positive)(Positive) = Positive(Positive)(Negative) = Negative(Negative)(Negative) = Positive(Positive)/(Negative) = Negative(Positive)/(Positive) = Positive(Negative)/(Negative) = Positive
Statistics
Average (Arithmetic Mean): (sum of all numbers)/(number of numbers)
Geometry Formulas
Angles
Sum of Interior Angles of Polygon = (n-2)(180)n = number of sides of a polygonCentral Angle = 2(Inscribed Angle)
Area
Square: A = a

 Rectangle: A = lwParallelogram: A = bhTrapezoid: A = .5(a+c)h, where a and c are the lengths of the parallel sides
Circles
π = pi = 3.1415
 
Area: A = πr
