2D Shapes: Area Formulas


Rectangle or Cube Area = Length x Width A=LxW

3D Shapes: Area and Volume Formulas


Rectangular or Cube Prism Surface Area = 2Lw + 2Lh + 2wh Volume = Length x Width x height V=LxWxh

Parallelogram Area = base x height A=bxh Triangle Area = 1/2 of base x height A = 1/2 b x h or A = b x h 2

Parallelogram shaped Prism (called a parallelepided) Surface Area = as per Rectangular Prism Volume = as per Rectangular Prism Triangular Prism Surface Area = 2b + Ph (b is the area of the base; P is the perimeter of the base) Volume = base x height x Length 2 V = b x h x L or V = bhL 2

2D Shapes: Area Formulas


Trapezoid Area = height x average of bases A = h x base 1 + base 2 2

3D Shapes: Area and Volume Formulas


Trapezoid Prism V = height of trapezoid x average length of bases x length of prism V = h x (base 1 + base 2) x L 2

Circle The distance around the circle is a circumference. C = d = Pi = 3.14; The distance across is the diameter (d). The radius (r) is the distance from the center to a point on the circle. Area = Pi x radius squared A = r2 or A = .785d2

Spheres Surface Area = Pi x diameter squared Surface Area = d2 Volume = 4/3 x Pi x radius cubed V = 4/3 r3 V = 4/3 r3

Cylinder Surface Area = (2 radius x height) + (2 x radius squared) Surface Area = 2rh + 2r2 Lateral Area = 2 radius x height AL = 2rh or AL = dh Volume = r2 x height V = r2 h or V = .785d2 x h

3D Shapes: Area and Volume Formulas


Cones Surface Area = Pi x radius squared + Pi x radius x Slant height of the cone Surface Area = r2 + rS Lateral Area = x radius x Slant height AL = rS Volume = 1/3 x Pi x radius squared x height V = 1/3 r2h Pyramid Surface Area: Area of base plus the sum of the areas of all of the triangular faces. V = 1/3 Area of base x height V = 1/3 Ah where A is the area of the base Frustum If you know the original height, use: Volume = (1/3 x Ah1) - (1/3 x Ah2) where A is the area of the bases V = (1/3 x L1 x W1 x h1) - (1/3 x L2 x W2 x h2) If you dont know the original height, use:

For circular cone frustums use: where is 3.14 and R1, R2 are the radii of the two bases.
