Measurement Formulas

Shapes Formula
Key Operation Rectangle :
Area = Length X Width
A = lw
Perimeter = 2 X Lengths + 2 X Widths
Key Operation Parallelogram :
Area = Base X Height
a = bh
Key Operation 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)
Key Operation Trapezoid :
Key Operation
Perimeter = area + b1 + b2 + c
P = a + b1 + b2 + c
Key Operation Circle :
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)
d = 2r
c = pd = 2 pr
A = pr2
(p=3.14)
Key Operation Rectangular Solid :
Volume = Length X Width X Height
V = lwh
Surface = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Key Operation Prisms :
Volume = Base X Height
v=bh
Surface = 2b + Ph
(b is the area of the base P is the perimeter of the base)
Key Operation Cylinder :
Key Operation
Key Operation Pyramid :
V = 1/3 bh
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.
Key Operation Cones :
Key Operation
Key Operation Sphere :
