Formulas for you..

Measurement formulas

Shapes

Formula

Rectangle:
Area = Length X Width
A = lw

Perimeter = 2 X Lengths + 2 X Widths
P = 2l + 2w
Parallelogram
Area = Base X Height
a = bh
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)
Trapezoid

Perimeter = area + b1 + b2 + c
P = a + b1 + b2 + c
Circle Try the Online tool.
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) More about circles.
d = 2r
c = pd = 2 pr
A = pr2
(p=3.14)
Rectangular Solid
Volume = Length X Width X Height
V = lwh
Surface = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Prisms
Volume = Base X Height
v=bh
Surface = 2b + Ph (b is the area of the base P is the perimeter of the base)
Cylinder
Volume = pr2 x height
V = pr2 h
Surface = 2p radius x height
S = 2prh + 2pr2
Pyramid
V = 1/3 bh
b is the area of the base
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.
Cones
Volume = 1/3 pr2 x height
V= 1/3 pr2h
Surface = pr2 + prs
S = pr2 + prs
=
pr2 + pr
Sphere
Volume = 4/3 pr3
V = 4/3 pr3
Surface = 4pr2
S = 4pr2

New Year Wishes

Every new year people make resolutions to change aspects of themselves they believe are negative. A majority of people revert back to how they were before and feel like failures. This year I challenge you to a new resolution. I challenge you to just be yourself.

Designing My Own Blog

This is my first time blogging. The Blogging session was held during our maths dept contact time (10th March 2010) period 6 and 7 and was facilitated by Cg. Hjh June and Cg. Hjh Nurul. It was an interesting PD. Although not all of the information can be absorbed immediately by all of us teachers, but i manage to continue a small private pd with the other colleagues today in the afternoon. Now look at the result....what an improvement.... :o)
