Is This Geometry eBook Right for You?

Geometry has a lot of formulas, and they are easy to mix up. This book puts every one of them in one place, with a picture that shows what each letter means.

This book is for you if

  • You are taking geometry in middle school or high school and want every formula in one place.
  • You know a formula exists, but you forget it or are not sure what each letter stands for.
  • You are reviewing for a test or exam and want worked examples and practice with answers.
  • You are a parent or tutor who wants a clear reference to help a student.
  • You are an adult returning to math and need a refresher on geometry.

It is probably not for you if

  • You need to learn how to write geometry proofs. This book is about formulas and calculations.
  • You want a full geometry course that starts from the very beginning.
  • You want a printed book. This is a PDF you download.

How the Geometry Formulas Book Works

Each chapter starts with formula cards: a labelled picture on the left and the formulas on the right. Worked examples come next, then a short set of practice problems.

b h

Triangle

Area

A = b × h2

b is the base and h is the height.

r

Circle

Circumference

C = 2 × π × r

Area

A = π × r2

r is the radius. Use π ≈ 3.14.

r h

Cylinder

Volume

V = π × r2 × h

The base is a circle with area π × r2, and h is the height.

Worked example from the book: The base of a swimming pool is a circle with radius 10 ft. Find its circumference and area.
  1. Circumference: C = 2 × 3.14 × 10 = 62.8
  2. Area: A = 3.14 × 102 = 3.14 × 100 = 314

Answer: 62.8 ft and 314 ft2

Find the area of a circle with radius 3 in. Use π ≈ 3.14.

Show answer

28.26 in2. A = 3.14 × 32 = 3.14 × 9 = 28.26. Area is measured in square units.

A picture for every formula

Every formula card has a labelled picture, so you can see what each letter stands for before you use the formula.

Every step shown

99 worked examples show each step, with a short note beside each line that says what was done, such as "divide by 3" or "angle sum."

Boxes that guide you

Key idea, Tip and Common mistake boxes point out what matters most. "Why does this work?" boxes show the reasoning behind a formula, so you can rebuild it if you forget it.

Practice and quick reference

Each chapter ends with practice problems, 76 in all, with answers at the back. A quick-reference section collects every formula in a few pages.

About the Author

Jetser Carasco

Math teacher and creator of Basic-mathematics.com

I taught high school math for 8 years in Massachusetts, to students with many different learning styles. I hold a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Massachusetts Boston, and I am also certified to teach math at all grade levels in Norway.

Teaching showed me what to say, and how to say it, so that math gets into students' heads. This book is written the way I teach in class, and it uses the same clear style as the lessons on Basic-mathematics.com, which I have run since 2008.

What students, parents and coworkers say about my teaching

I am no longer afraid of math.

This was really helpful! I now know how to solve similar problems that will be on the upcoming midterm. Thanks!

You are doing a great job with my daughter.

You are a great teacher. The students are lucky to have you.

Jetser, thank you so much for your help. You do a good job of explaining this.

I appreciate how thorough you are. Thank you!
