Mensuration Formulas

Triangle:
1
Area= 2 x base x height

Perimeter= add all sides

Square:
Area= l2
Perimeter= 4l

Rhombus:
Area= base x height
Perimeter= 4 x base

Rectangle:
Area= length x base
Perimeter= 2l + 2b

Trapezium:
1
Area= 2 (height x sum of parallel sides)

Perimeter= add all sides

Kite:
Area= area of 2 triangles…add them
Perimeter= add all sides
Polygons:
Sum of interior angles= (x-2) x 180 [x= no of sides]
Sum of exterior angles= 360

Pyramids:
1
V= 3 x base area x height

 Tetrahedron:
1 1
V= 3 [ 2 x b x h]

Surface area= sum of all faces

 Square pyramid:
1
V= 3 [l2] x h

Surface area= base area(square) + 3 equal triangular faces

 Rectangular pyramid:
1
V= 3 [l x b] x h

Surface area= base area(rectangle) + 4 equal triangular faces

Cylinder:
V= π r2h
Surface area for closed= 2πrh + 2πr2
Surface area for open= 2πrh + πr2
Curved surface area= 2πrh
Cone:
1
V= 3 πr2h

Surface area= πrl + πr2

Sphere:
4
V= 3 πr3

Surface area= 4πr2

Hemisphere:
2
V= 3 πr3

Surface area= curved s.a + base area

2πr2 + πr2 = 3πr2

Cube:
V= l3
Surface area of close= 6l2
Surface area of open= 5l2

Cuboid:
V= l x b x h
Surface area of open= (l x b) + 2(l x h) + 2(b x h)
Surface area of closed= 2(l x b) + 2(l x h) + 2(b x h)
Surface area of 4 walls only= 2(l x h) + 2(b x h)
Prism:
V= Base area x thickness
Surface area= 2(base area) + perimeter of base x thickness

Circle:
Area= πr2
Perimeter/circumference= 2πr

Semi-Circle:
πr 2
Area=
2

Perimeter= πr + 2r

Quadrant:
πr 2
Area:
2
2 πr
Perimeter= 4 + 2r

Sector:
∅
Area= 360° x πr2

∅
Arc length= 360° x 2πr

Perimeter of sector= arc length + 2r
