Area

Area of a Triangle

Used when a triangle has a base and a height.

A = ½ × b × h
Circle

Circumference of a Circle

The circumference is the distance around the circle.

C = 2πr
Volume

Volume of a Cube

A cube has equal side lengths.

V = a³
Surface Area

CSA of a Cylinder

CSA means the curved surface only, not the top and bottom.

CSA = 2πrh

Area of a Triangle

Use half times base times height. The height must be perpendicular to the base.
Solved Examples
Example 1: base = 12 cm, height = 8 cm
base = 12 cm height = 8 cm
  1. Write the formula: A = ½ × b × h.
  2. Substitute: A = ½ × 12 × 8.
