Where 
l’ is Length
b’ is Breadth

  • Square
  • Area of Square = a2
  • Perimeter of Square = 4a

Where 
a’ is the length of sides of a Square

  • Triangle
  • Area of Triangle= 1/2 × b × h

Where 
b’ is the base of the triangle and 
h’ is the height of the triangle

  • Trapezoid
  • Area of Trapezoid = 1/2 × (b1 + b2) × h

Where 
b1 and b2 are the bases of Trapezoid
h is height of Trapezoid

  • Circle
  • Area of Circle = π × r2
  • Circumference of Circle = 2πr

Where 
r’ is radius of a Circle

Where 
r’ is the radius of base of Cylinder
h’ is the height of Cylinder

  • Cone
  • Curved Surface Area of Cone = πrl
  • Total Surface Area of Cone = πr(r + l) = πr[r + √(h2 + r2)]
  • Volume of Cone = V = 1/3× πr2h

where, 
r’ is the Radius of base of Cone
