About Geometry Formulas
Geometry formulae are used to calculate geometric shape dimensions, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, and so on. Geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the links between points, lines, angles, surfaces, measurements, and properties of solids. Geometry is divided into two types: 2D or plane geometry and 3D or solid geometry. 2D shapes, such as squares, circles, and triangles, are flat shapes with only two dimensions: length and width. 3D objects, such as a cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, or cone, have three dimensions: length, width, and height or depth.
Geometry formulae are used to calculate the dimensions, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, and other properties of 2D and 3D geometric shapes. 2D shapes include flat shapes such as squares, circles, and triangles, while 3D shapes include cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone, and others. The following are the basic geometry formulas:

List of Geometry Formulas
- Perimeter of a Square = 4(Side)
- Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
- Area of a Square = Side2
- Area of a Rectangle = Length × Breadth
- Area of a Triangle = ½ × base × height
- Area of a Trapezoid = ½ × (base1+base2)(base1+base2)× height
- Area of a Circle = A = π×r2
- Circumference of a Circle = 2πr
- Curved surface area of a Cylinder = 2πrh
- Total surface area of a Cylinder = 2πr(r + h)
- Volume of a Cylinder = V = πr2h
- The curved surface area of a cone = πrl
- Total surface area of a cone = πr(r+l) = πr[r+√(h2 + r2)]
