🔺 2-D Figures (Area & Perimeter)
| Figure | Area (A) | Perimeter (P) / Circumference (C) | Mnemonic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square (a) | a² | 4a | “A-Square, P-Four-a” |
| Rectangle (l,b) | l × b | 2(l+b) | “L-Bee, Two-L-B” |
| Triangle (b,h) | ½ b h | a+b+c | “Half-base-height” |
| Equilateral Δ | (√3/4) a² | 3a | “Root-3-four-a-square” |
| Right Δ | ½ × product of legs | a+b+hypotenuse | “Legs-half” |
| Circle (r) | π r² | 2πr | “Pi-r-sq, Two-pi-r” |
| Semi-circle | ½ π r² | πr + 2r | “Half-pi-r-sq, pi-r-plus-dia” |
🔴 Circle Quick-Facts
- Chord: any line joining two points on circle.
- Diameter: longest chord = 2r
- Central angle = 2 × Inscribed angle subtending same arc.
- Arc length = θ/360° × 2πr (θ in degrees)
📦 3-D Solids (Surface Area & Volume)
| Solid | Volume (V) | Total Surface Area (TSA) | Lateral/Curved SA | Trick |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cuboid (l,b,h) | l b h | 2(lb+bh+hl) | 2h(l+b) | “L-B-H, wrap gift twice” |
| Cube (a) | a³ | 6a² | 4a² | “Six faces, four sides” |
| Cylinder (r,h) | π r² h | 2πr(r+h) | 2πrh | “Pie-r-sq-h, two-pi-r-(r+h)” |
| Cone (r,h,l) | ⅓ π r² h | π r(r+l) | π r l | “One-third pie, slant-l” |
| Sphere (r) | 4/3 π r³ | 4π r² | — | “Four-thirds pie-r-cube” |
| Hemisphere | 2/3 π r³ | 3π r² | 2π r² | “Half-sphere, 3-pi-r-sq” |
Slant height l = √(r²+h²)
📐 Pythagoras & Special Triangles
- Pythagoras: h² = p² + b²
- 45-45-90: sides 1 : 1 : √2
- 30-60-90: sides 1 : √3 : 2
