Perimeter, area and volume Quadratic formula

Where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides The solution of ax2 + bx + c = 0
and h is their perpendicular separation:

Volume of a prism = area of cross section × length 2a

Where r is the radius and d is the diameter:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr = πd

Area of a circle = πr2

Compound Interest Probability

Where P is the principal amount, r is the interest Where P (A) is the probability of outcome A
rate over a given period and n is number of times and P (B) is the probability of outcome B:
that the interest is compounded:
P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B)
