Circle / Disc

r
Length (circumference): l = 2πr
Area: A = πr²
Worked Example:

Find the circumference and area of a circle with radius 3cm.

l = 2πr = 2π × 3 = 6π ≈ 18.85 cm

Arc / Sector

r θ
When θ is in radians:
l = rθ (arc length)
A = ½r²θ (sector area)
Note: tan A and sec A are not defined when cos A = 0, sin A = 0
Worked Example:

Find arc length and sector area for r = 5cm, θ = 1.2 radians.

l = rθ = 5 × 1.2 = 6 cm

A = ½r²θ = ½ × 5² × 1.2 = 15 cm²

Right-angled Triangle

b a c A
sin A = a/c = opposite/hypotenuse
cos A = b/c = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan A = a/b = opposite/adjacent
a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos A (cosine rule)
Worked Example:

In a right triangle, if opposite = 3 and adjacent = 4:

tan A = 3/4 = 0.75

A = arctan(0.75) ≈ 36.87°

hypotenuse = √(3² + 4²) = √25 = 5

Compound & Double Angle Formulas

Compound Angle
cos(A - B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B
sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B

tan 2A = 2tan A/(1 - tan²A)
cos 2A = 1 - tan²A/(1 + tan²A)
sin 2A = 2tan A/(1 + tan²A)

Quadratic Equations

Standard form:
ax² + bx + c = 0

Quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

Discriminant:
Δ = b² - 4ac
• Δ > 0: two real roots
• Δ = 0: one repeated root
• Δ < 0: no real roots
Worked Example:

Solve: 2x² + 5x - 3 = 0

a = 2, b = 5, c = -3

Δ = 5² - 4(2)(-3) = 25 + 24 = 49

x = (-5 ± √49)/4 = (-5 ± 7)/4

x = 0.5 or x = -3
