    This document defines common geometric terms used to calculate area and volume, including length, width, height, radius, diameter, and pi. It then provides formulas to calculate the area and volume of basic shapes like rectangles, triangles, circles, cylinders, pyramids, cones, spheres, and prisms.

    Some common terms used when calculating area include:

    A Area C Circumference L Length W Width H Height r Radius d Diameter Pi 3.14 constant S Surface Area

    ()

    Volume (Math | Geometry | Volume Formulas) (pi = = 3.141592...)

    Volume Formulas
    Note: "ab" means "a" multiplied by "b". "a " means "a squared", which is the same as "a" 3 times "a". "b " means "b cubed", which is the same as "b" times "b" times "b".

    Cube = a 3

    Rectangular prism = a b c

    Irregular prism = b h

    Cylinder = b h = pi r 2 h

    Pyramid = (1/3) b h

    Cone = (1/3) b h = 1/3 pi r 2 h

    Sphere = (4/3) pi r 3

    Ellipsoid = (4/3) pi r1 r2 r3

    Shapes

    Formula Rectangle: Area = Length X Width A = lw Perimeter = 2 X Lengths + 2 X Widths P = 2l + 2w Parallelogram Area = Base X Height a = bh Triangle Area = 1/2 of the base X the height a = 1/2 bh Perimeter = a + b + c (add the length of the three sides) Trapezoid Perimeter = area + b1 + b2 + c P = a + b1 + b2 + c

    Circle Try the Online tool. The distance around the circle is a circumference. The distance across the circle is the diameter (d). The radius (r) is the distance from the center to a point on the circle. (Pi = 3.14) More about circles. d = 2r c = d = 2 r A = r2 (=3.14)

    Rectangular Solid Volume = Length X Width X Height V = lwh Surface = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

    Prisms Volume = Base X Height v=bh Surface = 2b + Ph (b is the area of the base P is the perimeter of the base) Cylinder Volume = r2 x height V = r2 h Surface = 2 radius x height S = 2rh + 2r2

    Pyramid V = 1/3 bh b is the area of the base Surface Area: Add the area of the base to the sum of the areas of all of the triangular faces. The areas of the triangular faces will have different formulas for different shaped bases. Cones Volume = 1/3 r2 x height V= 1/3 r2h Surface = r2 + rs S = r2 + rs =r2 + r

    Sphere Volume = 4/3 r3 V = 4/3 r3 Surface = 4r2 S = 4r2
