Common area formulas covered include the circle, sphere, hollow cylinder, ellipse, triangle, rhombus, equilateral triangle, and regular polygons. Volume formulas are also provided for the sphere and cylinder.

Some common trigonometric identities covered include the definitions of sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, cosecant and secant in terms of a right triangle. Other important identities include the double angle, sum and difference formulas.

Math Formula Cheat Sheet

Distance/Velocity problems
Distance = (velocity)(time)

Average velocity =

total distance traveled


total time

*Important formula

Graphing formulas
y = mx + b
y y1 = m(x-x1)
Distance between two points = make a right triangle and solve for the
hypotenuse
Midpoint = average together the x values and the y values, or:
X! + X !
Y! + Y!

1 in = 2.5 cm
1 m = 1.1 yd
1 lb = 454g
1 kg = 2.2 lbs

Exponent Rules
(Xb)(Yb) = (XY)b

(Xb/Yb) = (X/Y)b

(Xn)(Xm) = Xn+m

Xn/Xm = Xn-m

Log Rules
log (X) + log (Y) = log (XY)

log (X) log (Y) = log (X/Y)

n*log (X) = log (Xn)

When solving a log problem, remember:


o log X=b can be solved as X= 10b

Percent Increase/Decrease:
[(X2 X1)/X1] *100% = percent change
Probability and Statistics
Combination vs. Permutation:
You use combination when the order does not matter.
You use permutation when the order does matter.

variance = !
In a normal (or Gaussian) distribution, 68% of the data fall within 1 standard
deviation of the mean. 95% of the data fall within 2 standard deviations of
the mean, and 99.7% of the data fall within 3 standard deviations of the
mean.

Area formulas
Circle = r2
Sphere = 4 r2
Hollow cylinder = 2 rh
Ellipse = ab
Triangle = (1/2)bh
Rhombus = bh
Equilateral triangle =

S= side of triangle

Area of a regular polygon = (1/2) N sin(360/N) S2


Sum of interior angles = (N-2) 180
N = number of sides, S=length from center to a corner

cos A = cos (A)
sin 2A = 2 (sin A) (cos A)
cos 2A = cos ! A sin!
sin! A + cos ! A = 1
*Know how to rearrange this identity, for example dividing this identity by
sin2A gives:
1 + cot ! A = csc ! A

Simple and Compound Interest
Simple Interest
I = PRT
I = interest
P = principal
R = annual rate
T = time in years
Compound Interest
FV = PV (1+r)n
FV = future value
PV = present value
r = annual interest rate
n = number of periods
ex. If the interest is compounded quarterly (every 3 months), and the length
of the investment is one year, then n = 4 periods.
