Basic Geometry Formulas

“These are some of the most common geometry formulas to figure out the perimeter, area, volume, surface areas, and circumference for the different shapes such as square, rectangle, triangle, parallelogram, circle, trapezoid etc.”
  • Square
    Perimeter = 4s
    Area: A = s2
  • Rectangle
    Perimeter= 2w + 2l
    Area= l × w
  • Triangles
    Perimeter = a + b + c
    Area = (1/2) × b × h
  • Circle
    Diameter = 2r
    Circumference = 2 π r = π d
    Area = π r2
  • Trapezoid
    Area =1/2h(b1 + b2)
    Perimeter = a + b1 + c + b2
  • Isosceles Trapezoid
    Perimeter = 2w + b1 + b2
    Area = 1/2h(b1 + b2)
  • Parallelogram
    Area = lh
    Perimeter = 2l + 2w
