80°
90°
100°
120°
The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180°. Dividing 180° into 9 parts (2+3+4) means each part is 20°, so the largest angle (4 parts) is 80°.
A parallelogram has a base of 10 cm and a corresponding height of 6 cm. What is its area?
60 cm²
20 cm²
30 cm²
16 cm²
The area of a parallelogram is determined by multiplying its base by its height. Multiplying 10 cm by 6 cm results in an area of 60 cm².
A circle has an area of 49π square inches. What is the radius of the circle?
49 inches
14 inches
21 inches
7 inches
Using the area formula A = πr² and setting it equal to 49π, we solve for r² to get 49, which means the radius r is 7 inches.
The total surface area of a cube is 150 cm². What is the length of one edge of the cube?
25 cm
10 cm
15 cm
5 cm
A cube has a surface area equal to 6 times the square of its edge length, or 6a². Setting 6a² equal to 150 cm² and solving for a, we find that the edge length is 5 cm.
A composite shape consists of a rectangle attached to a semicircle. The rectangle measures 8 cm by 4 cm, and the semicircle is attached along the 4 cm side. What is the total area of the composite shape? (Use π = 3.14)
40.28 cm²
42.28 cm²
38.28 cm²
36.28 cm²
First, calculate the area of the rectangle: 8 cm × 4 cm = 32 cm². Then, find the area of the semicircle with a diameter of 4 cm (radius 2 cm) using the formula (1/2)πr², which approximates to 6.28 cm²; adding these gives a total area of about 38.28 cm².

Geometry & Measurement Math Sheets Cheat Sheet

  1. Master the Pythagorean Theorem - In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²). Think of it as a magic key for unlocking hidden distances in geometry puzzles and real-life situations like figuring out the height of a ladder leaning against a wall. Once it clicks, you'll spot right triangles everywhere you look! Core Standards: Pythagorean Theorem
  2. Understand transformations - Learn how translations slide shapes around, rotations swivel them in place, reflections mirror them across a line, and dilations resize them up or down. Mastering these moves feels like playing with a virtual geometry toolkit - no mess, no fuss. Your brain will thank you when you ace symmetry and mapping questions! Core Standards: Geometric Transformations
  3. Explore angle relationships - When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, you'll meet corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles. Spotting these buddies helps you solve for unknown angles faster than you can say "transversal." It's like finding secret codes hidden in line art! Core Standards: Angle Relationships
  4. Calculate areas of 2D shapes - Always remember the rectangle's area is length × width and a triangle's area is ½ × base × height. Toss in circle area with πr², and you've got the most common 2D shapes covered. Practicing these formulas turns scribbles into answers in a flash! Byju's Guide: 2D Mensuration
  5. Determine surface areas and volumes of 3D solids - For cylinders, use surface area = 2πr² + 2πrh and volume = πr²h; for spheres, surface area = 4πr² and volume = 4/3πr³. Visualize each net and cross-section to make formulas feel less like magic and more like trusty tools. Soon, you'll be calculating ice-cream cone volumes in your sleep! Byju's Guide: 3D Mensuration
  6. Understand congruence and similarity - Congruent figures match in shape and size, while similar figures have the same shape but different sizes. Think of congruent shapes as twins and similar shapes as cousins - they share features, but only twins are identical! This distinction is crucial for proofs and real-world design. Core Standards: Congruence & Similarity
  7. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find distances - Treat the coordinate plane like a giant graph paper map and use a² + b² = c² to calculate the straight-line distance between any two points. This builds the foundation for the distance formula you'll see in algebra. It's your secret weapon for navigating geometry graphs! Core Standards: Distance on a Graph
  8. Learn about the properties of circles - Get comfy with terms like radius, diameter, circumference, and area, and know how they all relate - diameter = 2 × radius, circumference = 2πr, and area = πr². Circles pop up everywhere, from wheels to pizza slices, so these tools are super handy. Play around with different radii and watch the numbers grow! Byju's Guide: Circle Properties
  9. Explore the properties of polygons - Study formulas for the sum of interior angles [(n - 2) × 180°] and recognize regular polygons by equal sides and angles. Whether it's a pentagon or a dodecagon, these rules help you tackle any shape confidently. It's like having a universal rulebook for all your many-sided friends! Core Standards: Polygon Properties
  10. Practice coordinate geometry - Plot points, calculate slopes, and graph linear equations to bring algebra and geometry together. Understanding y = mx + b turns lines into stories about rate of change and intercepts. The more you practice, the more patterns you'll spot - no graph paper blues here! Core Standards: Coordinate Geometry
