Geometry Formulas
Geometry is a branch of Mathematics that revolves around shapes, sizes, and relative positions of properties and figures. The section deals with lengths, volumes, and areas. Geometry is of two kinds: Plane Geometry and Solid Geometry. Plane Geometry deals with different shapes, and Solid Geometry calculates the area, length, perimeter, and volume of geometric figures and shapes. Other geometric formulas concern height, radius, surface area, etc.
The students of secondary standards must study geometry formulas extensively to understand the topics in-depth. The academic experts at Extramarks have designed a list of all geometry formulas to help the students in their educational courses.
Class-wise Most Important Geometry Formulas
Class 8
- Curved Surface Area of a Cone = 1 /2 × l × 2πr = πrl, where ‘r’ is its base radius and ‘l’ its slant height. ‘l’ = √(r2 + h2)

How to apply geometry formulae in Mathematics?
The formulas are used to make out the perimeter, breadth, height, area, surface area, and many more.
Let us see an example.
Example: Calculate the area of a trapezium with parallel sides of 24cm24cm and 20cm20cm and a distance of 15cm15cm between them.
Given the length of parallel sides 24cm and 20cm, and the distance between parallel sides is 15cm.
We know that area of trapezium = ½ × (Sum of parallel sides) × Height
= ½ × (24+20) ×15cm2
= 22×15cm2 = 330cm2
Hence, the area of the given trapezium is 330cm²
Solved Examples
Example 1
The length and breadth of a wall are 20 ft. and 15 ft. respectively. The owner wants to get it covered with wallpaper. The price of the wallpaper is ₹50 per sq. ft. Find the Cost of covering the wall with the wallpaper?
Solution:
Area of the wall = l × b
= 20 × 15
= 300 sq. ft.
Cost of wallpaper = Area of the wall × Cost per sq. ft.
= 300 × 50
= ₹ 15000
Example 2
Calculate the area of a triangle with a 25m base and a 14m height.
Solution:
Here, base =25cm and Height =14cm
Area of a triangle = (1/2 ×base × height) sq. units
= (1/2×25×14) cm2
= 175cm2
Therefore, the area of the given triangle is 175cm2.
Example 3
Find the volume of a cube whose edge measures 8cm.
Solution:
Given, edge a=8cm,
we know that volume of a cube =a3 cubic units
= 83= 8×8×8cm3 = 512cm3
Hence, the volume of the given cube is 512cm3
Example 4
Calculate the circumference of a circle with a radius of 10.5cm
Solution:
Here, r=10.5 = 105/10= 21/2cm
we know that circumference of a circle =2πr
=2 × 22/7 × 21/2 cm
= 66 cm
Therefore, the circumference of a given circle is 66cm.
