Common Formulas

Surface areas of common solids
Shape Equation Variables
Cube s = side length
Rectangular prism = length, w = width, h = height
All Prisms B = the area of one base, P = the perimeter of one base, h = height
Sphere r = radius of sphere
Spherical lune r = radius of sphere, θ = dihedral angle
Closed cylinder r = radius of the circular base, h = height of the cylinder
Lateral surface area of a cone

s = slant height of the cone,
r = radius of the circular base,
h = height of the cone

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or formulas:

    You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.
    Anthony Henley (d. 1745)

    It is sentimentalism to assume that the teaching of life can always be fitted to the child’s interests, just as it is empty formalism to force the child to parrot the formulas of adult society. Interests can be created and stimulated.
    Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
