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 = 2π r = π d

Area of a circle = π r 2

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

In any right-angled triangle ABC where a, b and c

are the length of the sides and c is the
hypotenuse:

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

Compound Interest Probability

Where P is the principal amount, r is the interest Where P (A) is the probability of outcome A and
rate over a given period and n is number of times P (B) is the probability of outcome B:
that the interest is compounded:

n P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B)

 r 
Total accrued = P  1 + 
 100 
