Basic Geometry Formulas
Here is the list of geometry formulas for different geometric shapes such as flat 2D shapes and 3D shapes like spheres, cones, and prisms.
Geometry deals with the different aspects of various shapes and figures. In everyday life, we apply geometry when determining the distance we have to walk from one place to another, putting together a piece of do-it-yourself furniture, or deciding whether the leftover food fits a container or not. If your student or child is new to geometry, all the shapes and formulae can be confusing. This geometry formula chart will help them see and understand instead of memorizing
