Summary of geometry formulas

The following charts summarize all of the formulas covered in this chapter.

A table is shown that summarizes all of the formulas in the chapter. The first cell is for Supplementary and Complementary Angles, and says that the measure of angle A plus the measure of angle B equals 180 degrees for supplementary angles A and B and the measure of angle C plus the measure of angle D equals 90 degrees for complementary angles C and D. There is an image of two angles A and B that together form a straight line and two angles C and D that together form a right angle. The next cell says Rectangular Solid and shows the formulas Volume equals LWH and Surface Area equals 2LH plus 2LW plus 2WH. An image of a rectangular solid with sides L, W, and H is shown. The next cell says Triangle. An image of a triangle is shown with sides a, b, and c, vertices A, B, and C, and height h. It says, “For triangle ABC, angle measures measure of angle A plus measure of angle B plus measure of angle C equal 180 degrees. Below this is Perimeter, P equals a plus b plus c. Below this is Area, A equals one-half bh. The next cell says Cube and shows an image of a cube with sides s. It says Volume V equals s cubed and Surface Area S equals 6 times s squared. The next cell says Similar Triangles. It shows two similar triangles ABC and XYZ. It says if triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ, then measure of angle A equals measure of angle X, measure of angle B equals measure of angle Y, and measure of angle C equals measure of angle Z. It then says a over x equals b over y equal c over z. The next cell says Sphere and shows an image of a sphere with radius r. It says volume V equals four-thirds times pi times r and Surface Area S equals 4 times pi times r squared. The next cell says Circle. There is an image with two radii labeled r and the diameter labeled d. It says Circumference C equals 2 pi times r and C equals pi times d. It says Area equals pi times r squared. The next cell says Cylinder and shows an image of a cylinder with height h and radius of the base r. It says Volume V equals pi times r squared times h. Below this is V equals Bh. Below that is Surface Area S equals 2 times pi times r squared plus 2 times pi times rh. The next cell says Rectangle and shows an image of a rectangle with sides W and L. It says Perimeter P equals 2L plus 2W, then Area A equals LW. The next cell says Cone and shows an image of a cone with height h and radius of the base r. It says Volume V equals one-third times pi times r squared times h. The last cell says Trapezoid and shows an image of a trapezoid with bases little b and capital B, and height h. It says Area A equals one-half times h times parentheses little b plus capital B. This image shows a row with three columns. The first column says Rectangular solid with the formula below that says volume: V equals LWH. Under this, it says Surface Area: S equals 2LH plus 2LW plus 2WH. An image shows an image of a rectangular solid with the sides labeled L , W and H. The middle column says Rectangle. Under this it says Perimeter P equals 2L plus 2W, then Area A equals LW. An image of a rectangle with sides W and L. The right column says Cube. Under this it says “Volume: V equals s to the third power.” Under this is says “Surface area: S equals 6 times s squared. Below it is an image of a cube with three sides labeled “s”.
