Master this topic with zero to advance depth.

1. Triangles (рддреНрд░рд┐рднреБрдЬ)

Area: A=12├ЧBase├ЧHeightA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}

Heron's Formula: A=s(sтИТa)(sтИТb)(sтИТc)A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}, where s=a+b+c2s = \frac{a+b+c}{2} (Semi-perimeter).

Equilateral Triangle:

  • Area: A=34a2A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2
  • Height: h=32ah = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a
Isosceles Triangle: A=b44a2тИТb2A = \frac{b}{4}\sqrt{4a^2 - b^2} (where aa is equal side).

Example:

Q: Find the area of an equilateral triangle with side 10 cm.
Solution: A=34(10)2=34├Ч100=253┬аcm2A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} (10)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 100 = 25\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}^2.

2. Quadrilaterals (рдЪрддреБрд░реНрднреБрдЬ)

Rectangle:

  • Area: L├ЧBL \times B
  • Perimeter: 2(L+B)2(L+B)
  • Diagonal: L2+B2\sqrt{L^2 + B^2}
Square:
  • Area: a2a^2 or 12├Ч(Diagonal)2\frac{1}{2} \times (\text{Diagonal})^2
  • Perimeter: 4a4a
  • Diagonal: a2a\sqrt{2}
Parallelogram: A=Base├ЧHeightA = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}

Rhombus: A=12├Чd1├Чd2A = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 (d1,d2d_1, d_2 are diagonals).
Side a=12d12+d22a = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{d_1^2 + d_2^2}.

Trapezium: A=12├Ч(Sum┬аof┬аParallel┬аSides)├ЧHeightA = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{Sum of Parallel Sides}) \times \text{Height}.

3. Circles (рд╡реГрддреНрдд)

Area: A=╧Аr2A = \pi r^2
Circumference: C=2╧АrC = 2\pi r
Semi-Circle: Area = ╧Аr22\frac{\pi r^2}{2}, Perimeter = ╧Аr+2r\pi r + 2r.

Sector:

  • Area = ╬╕360├Ч╧Аr2\frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2
  • Arc Length (ll) = ╬╕360├Ч2╧Аr\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r

Example:

Q: Find the circumference of a circle with radius 7 cm.
Solution: C=2├Ч227├Ч7=44┬аcmC = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 = 44 \text{ cm}.

4. Polygons (рдмрд╣реБрднреБрдЬ)

Sum of Interior Angles: (nтИТ2)├Ч180тИШ(n-2) \times 180^\circ
Each Interior Angle (Regular): (nтИТ2)├Ч180n\frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}
Sum of Exterior Angles: 360тИШ360^\circ

Regular Hexagon:

  • Area: 6├Ч34a2=332a26 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2 = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} a^2
  • It consists of 6 Equilateral Triangles.

5. Pathways (рд░рд╛рд╕реНрддреЗ)

Path outside a Rectangle:
Area = (L+B+2w)├Ч2w(L + B + 2w) \times 2w

Path inside a Rectangle:
Area = (L+BтИТ2w)├Ч2w(L + B - 2w) \times 2w

Cross Paths:
Area = w(L+BтИТw)w(L + B - w)
(where ww is the width of the path).
