A list of 12 math formulas referenced on the Math Test. Reference 1: Formula for the area of a circle written as A equals pi times radius squared. Reference 2: Formula for the circumference of a circle written as C equals 2 pi times the radius. Reference 3: Formula for the area of a rectangle written as A equals length times width. Reference 4: Formula for the area of a triangle written as A equals half the length of the base of the triangle times the height. Reference 5: Formula for the Pythagorean theorem written as C squared equals A squared plus B squared. Reference 6: A special right triangle showing 30, 60, and 90 degrees; the height is X, the length is X square root 3, and the hypotenuse is 2x. Reference 7: A special right triangle showing two 45 degree angles and one 90 degree angle with two sides of equal length represented as S and the hypotenuse represented as S square root 2. Reference 8: Volume of a rectangle solid written as V equals length times width times height. Reference 9: Volume of a cylinder written as V equals pi times radius squared times height. Reference 10: Volume of a sphere written as V equals four-thirds times pi times the radius cubed. Reference 11: Volume of a cone written as V equals one-third times pi times radius squared times height. Reference 12: Volume of a pyramid written as V equals one-third times length times width times height. Notes: The number of degrees of arc in a circle is 360. The number of radians of arc in a circle is 2 pi. The sum of the measures in degrees of the angles of a triangle is 180.
