Pythagoras
For a right-angled triangle, a2 + b2 = c2
sin xo = , cos xo = , tan xo =
Quadratic equations
The solutions of ax2 + bx + c = 0,
where a ≠ 0, are given by x =
Circles
Circumference =π × diameter, C = πd
Circumference = 2 × π × radius, C = 2πr
Area of a circle =π x radius squared, A = πr2
Areas
Rectangle = l × w
Parallelogram = b × h
Triangle = b × h
Trapezium = (a + b)h
