Circle Calculations

Circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula: Circumference = 2 × π × radius
Area of a circle can be calculated using the formula: Area = π × radius²

Volume Calculations

Volume of a cube can be calculated using the formula: Volume = length × width × height

Prism Concepts

Locus refers to the fixed point or points that satisfy a specific condition in a prism

Ratio and Fractions

Ratio and fractions are equivalent representations of a part-to-whole comparison

Surface Area Calculations

Surface area of a cuboid can be calculated using the formula: Surface Area = 2 × (length × width + width × height + height × length)

Composite Shapes and Nets

Composite shapes refer to shapes composed of multiple simple shapes, requiring addition of their individual areas to find the total area
Nets of 3D shapes refer to the 2D representation of a 3D shape's surface, useful for finding surface area

Volume of Triangular Prism

Finding the volume of a triangular prism requires the skill of applying the formula: Volume = (base area × height) / 3

Drawing Solids

Solids can be drawn using isometric paper, which allows for accurate representation of 3D shapes in 2D
