A) Volume of Cube Formula:

The volume, VV, of a cube is determined by the following


formula
where aa is the length of the side of the cube.

B) Prisms and prism-like figures

We always measure the height of a prism perpendicularly to the plane


of its base. That's true even when a prism is on it's side or when it tilts
(an oblique prism).

Triangular prisms
A triangular prism has a base shaped like a triangle.
Oblique prisms
In oblique prisms, the bases are in parallel planes,

We still calculate the volume in exactly the same way because of Cavalieri's
principle.

Which expression gives the volume of the oblique rectangular prism?


C) Rectangular prisms
Note that any face of a rectangular prism could be its base, as long as we measure the height of the
prism perpendicularly to that face.
D) Cylinders

A circular cylinder is a prism-like figure that has a base shaped like a circle.

E) Pyramids and pyramid-like figures


We also measure the height of a pyramid perpendicularly to the plane
of its base. Because of Cavalieri's principle, the same volume formula
works for right and oblique pyramid-like figures.

Rectangle-based pyramids
A rectangle-based pyramid has a base shaped like a rectangle.

Square-based pyramids
A rectangle-based pyramid has a base shaped like asquare.
F)Cones
A circular cone is a pyramid-like figure that has a base shaped like a circle.
G) Spheres

A) What is the Area of a Rhombus?


The area of a rhombus can be defined as the amount of space enclosed by a rhombus in a two-
dimensional space. To recall, a rhombus is a type of quadrilateral projected on a two dimensional
(2D) plane, having four sides that are equal in length and are congruent. It is also known as
equilateral quadrilateral because all its four sides are equal in nature.

Area of Rhombus Formula


Different formulas to find the area of a rhombus are:

Formulas to Calculate Area of Rhombus

Using Diagonals A = ½ × d1 × d2

Using Base and Height A=b×h

Using Trigonometry A = b2 × Sin(a)

Where,

 d1 = length of diagonal 1


 d2 = length of diagonal 2
 b = length of any side
 h = height of rhombus
 a = measure of any interior angle
B) What is the Area of Parallelogram?
The area of a parallelogram is the region bounded by the parallelogram in a given two-dimension
space. To recall, a parallelogram is a special type of quadrilateral which has four sides, and the pair
of opposite sides are parallel. In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are of equal length, and
opposite angles are of equal measures. Since the rectangle and the parallelogram have similar
properties, the area of the rectangle is equal to the area of a parallelogram.

Suppose a and b are the set of parallel sides of a parallelogram and h is the height, then based on
the length of sides and height of it, the formula for its area is given by:
Area = Base × Height
C) Area of a Trapezoid Formula
A trapezoid is described as a 2-dimensional geometric figure which has four sides and at least
one set of opposite sides are parallel. The parallel sides are called the bases, while the other sides
are called the legs. There are different types of trapezoids: isosceles trapezoid, right trapezoid,
scalene trapezoid. A trapezoid with the two non-parallel sides of the same length is called an
isosceles trapezoid. A right trapezoid is a trapezoid that has at least two right angles. A right
isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid that is simultaneously a right trapezoid and an isosceles
trapezoid. In Euclidean geometry, such trapezoids are automatically rectangles.

Area of a Trapezoid = A = 1/2 × h × (a + b)


Where:
h = height (Note – This is the perpendicular height, not the length of the legs.)
a = the short base
b = the long base

D) Ellipse Formula
In geometry, an ellipse is described as a curve on a plane that surrounds two focal points such that
the sum of the distances to the two focal points is constant for every point on the curve. In the
following figure, F1 and F2 are called the foci of the ellipse.
Where,
r1 is the semi major axis of the ellipse.
r2 is the semi minor axis of the ellipse.

E) Area of Circle Definition


Any geometrical shape has its own area. This area is the region occupied the shape in a two-
dimensional plane. Now we will learn about the area of the circle. So the area covered by one
complete cycle of the radius of the circle on a two-dimensional plane is the area of that circle. Now
how can we calculate the area for any circular object or space? In this case, we use the formula for
the circle’s area. Let us discuss the formula now.

Area of a Circle Formula


Let us take a circle with radius r.

In the above figure, we can see a circle, where radius r from the centre ‘o’ to the boundary of the
circle. Then the area for this circle, A, is equal to the product of pi and square of the radius. It is
given by; 

F) Area Of A Square - Introduction To Area


Area of a square is defined as the number of square units needed to fill a square. In general, the
area is defined as the region occupied inside the boundary of a flat object or figure. The
measurement is done in square units with the standard unit being square meters (m ). For the
2

computation of area, there are pre-defined formulas for squares, rectangles, circle, triangles, etc.
In this article, you will learn about the area of a square.
Thus, the area of the square is 25 square cm, which can be written as 5 cm × 5 cm, that is, side × side.
From the above discussion, it can be inferred that the formula can give the area of a square is:
Area of a Square = Side × Side

Area =a²
