Important Formulae of Mensuration

Important formulae of Mensuration:-

Triangle:-

FIGURE AREA
Area = √𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐)

𝑎+𝑏+𝑐
Where, semi perimeter (s) =
2
and a, b & c are sides of triangle

Area = 12𝑏ℎ

Where b is the base and h is the height (altitude) of triangle.

√3
Area of an equilateral triangle = 𝑎2
4

√𝟑
Height of an eq. triangle = 𝒂
𝟐

Where a is the side of equilateral triangle.

Area = 12𝑎𝑏 sin 𝜃

Where a & b are sides of any triangle & 𝜃 is the angle between
these two sides.

Circle :-

Area of circle = πr2

Circumference of a circle = 1 revolution = 2πr

Diameter = 2r

Area of semi-circle = πr2/2

The perimeter of the semicircle = πr +2r

𝜃
Length of arc of any sector (𝐿) = 2𝜋𝑟 ( )
360°

𝜃
Area of sector = 𝜋𝑟 2 ( )

Trapezium 1. only one pair of Area

opposite sides are parallel

2. The diagonals cut the
sides) × (height)
quadri-lateral into four
triangles of which one
opposite pair are similar.

3. The diagonals cut each

other in mutually the same
ratio (this ratio is the same
as that between the
lengths of the parallel
sides).

If lengths of one diagonal and two offsets are given of any quadrilateral
