Using the Pythagorean theorem, 3² + 4² equals 9 + 16, which is 25, and the square root of 25 is 5. This is the classic 3-4-5 right triangle example.
What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?
A = (b1 - b2) - h
A = b1 - b2 - h
A = (b1 + b2) - h
A = 1/2 - (b1 + b2) - h
The area of a trapezoid is calculated as one-half multiplied by the sum of its two parallel sides (bases) times the height. This formula is essential for solving many quadrilateral problems.

Their corresponding angles are equal but the sides can be in any ratio
Their corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional
They have the same area
Their corresponding sides are equal, and corresponding angles may differ
Similar triangles have all corresponding angles equal and their corresponding side lengths in proportional ratios. This is a key distinction between similarity and congruence.
A triangle with side lengths 6, 8, and 10 is an example of what type of triangle?
Equilateral triangle

720 degrees
1080 degrees
360 degrees
540 degrees
Using the formula (n - 2) - 180 degrees with n = 5, the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees. This is a standard result for any polygon.

50 square units
30 square units
25 square units
15 square units
The area of a triangle is computed as 1/2 - base - height. Substituting the given values results in an area of 25 square units.
What is the distance between the points (1,2) and (4,6) in the coordinate plane?
3 units
4 units
5 units
6 units
By applying the distance formula √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²), the distance comes out to be √(9 + 16) = √25, which equals 5 units.
What is the formula for the circumference of a circle with radius r?
C = πr²
C = 2r
C = 2πr
C = πr
The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula 2πr. Recognizing and using this formula is crucial when solving problems involving circles.
What is the volume of a cube with side length 3 units?
81 cubic units
18 cubic units
9 cubic units
27 cubic units
The volume of a cube is found by cubing the side length, so 3³ equals 27 cubic units. This calculation is a basic application of volume formulas.
In triangle ABC, if angle A is 45° and angle B is 60°, what is the measure of angle C?
75 degrees
80 degrees
65 degrees
85 degrees
Since the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, subtracting 45° and 60° from 180° gives 75° for angle C. This problem reinforces the triangle angle sum property.
Given a circle with a chord that subtends a 60° angle at the center, what is the ratio of the chord's length to the radius?
√3/2
2
1/2
1
The chord length is calculated using the formula 2r - sin(θ/2). For a 60° central angle, sin(30°) is 1/2, so the chord length equals r, yielding a ratio of 1.
A rectangle and a triangle both have an area of 24 square units. If the rectangle's dimensions are 6 and 4, what must be the triangle's height if its base is 8 units?
3 units
8 units
4 units
6 units
The area of a triangle is given by 1/2 - base - height. Setting 1/2 - 8 - height equal to 24 and solving for height yields 6 units.
If two lines in a plane are perpendicular, what is the relationship between their slopes?
Their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other
Their slopes add up to zero
Their slopes multiply to 1
They have the same slope
For two perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is -1, meaning that one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other. This relationship is fundamental in coordinate geometry.
Determine the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line given by the equation 3x - 4y + 7 = 0.
3/4
-4/3
4/3
-3/4
Rewriting the given equation in slope-intercept form shows that its slope is 3/4. A line perpendicular to it will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal, which is -4/3.

  1. Master the Pythagorean Theorem - Channel your inner math wizard: in any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b²). This formula will be your secret weapon for solving distance and design problems. Practice with different triangles to see how it always holds true! Geometry Formulas You Should Know
  2. Understand Triangle Congruence Criteria - Proving triangles congruent is like cracking a geometry code: use SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS to show two triangles are identical. Mastering these shortcuts saves time on proofs and helps you spot matching sides and angles instantly. Soon you'll breeze through any congruence challenge! CORE Standards: Geometry
  3. Learn Area Formulas for Common Shapes - From triangles to circles, knowing the right area formula is a game-changer: triangle = ½ × base × height, rectangle = length × width, circle = πr².

These theorems unlock puzzle‑like proofs and make circle problems feel like detective work. Sketch a few and watch the patterns appear! NRICH: Geometry Essentials
  5. Grasp Properties of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines - Parallel lines never meet and share the same slope; perpendicular lines intersect at right angles and have negative-reciprocal slopes. This knowledge helps you tackle coordinate proofs and real‑life design problems. Practice spotting these relationships in graphs and blueprints! Twinkl: Geometry Basics
  6. Explore Coordinate Geometry - Turn algebra into art: the line equation y = mx + c tells you slope (m) and intercept (c) so you can sketch any line instantly.

Each transformation keeps angles and side ratios intact, so you can predict exactly how a figure will change. Mix and match moves for creative pattern designs! CORE Standards: Geometry
  9. Study Special Right Triangles - In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, both legs are equal and the hypotenuse is √2 times a leg; in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the hypotenuse is twice the shorter leg and the longer leg is √3 times the shorter. These shortcuts turbocharge your right‑triangle calculations and appear everywhere from design to trigonometry. Commit them to memory! Geometry Formulas You Should Know
