🗑
Area of a triangle.   1/2 bh or bh/2  
🗑
Area of a cirlce   pi time radius squared (Πr2)  
🗑
Volume of a cube/rectangle prism.   V = BH (B=area of the base) or just do L*W*H  
🗑
Volume of a cylinder.   V = BH which is Πr2h (2 = squared)  
🗑
Volume of a Triangular Prism   V = BH which is 1/2bh(H) H = height of rectangle

🗑
Volume of a Pyramid   V = 1/3BH Depends on the base!  
🗑
Volume of a Sphere   V = 4/3Πr3 (3 = cubed)  
🗑
Surface Area of a Cube   SA = S * S * 6  
🗑
Sufrace Area of a Rectangular Prism   SA = L*W*2 + L*H*2 + W*H*2  
🗑
Surface Area of a Triangluar Prism   SA = 1/2bh*2 (triangles) + L*W (for all 3 rectangles - do each rectangle by itself)  
🗑
Surface Area of a Square Pyramid   SA = L*W (base) + 1/2bh4 (faces)  
🗑
Surface Area of a Cylinder   SA = 2Πr2 + 2Πrh  
🗑
Order of Operations   PEMDAS "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally)Parenthesis, Exponents, (Multiplication or Division - Left to right), (Addition or Subtraction - left to right)  
🗑
Square Root   A number that when multiplied by itself gives a given number. Ex: Square root of 9 is 3 (3x3=9)  
🗑
How to Solve Equations   UNDO the Order of operations.  
🗑
Like terms   Terms that have the same variable to the same exponent. Ex; 3x + 12x is the same as 15x. But 3x + 15y can't be combined  
🗑
Distributive Property   Take the value outside the parenthesis and multiply it by EVERYTHING on the inside.  
🗑
Proportion   An equation with 2 ratios. Cross multiply to solve.  
🗑
Percent Proportion   IS/OF = %/100 Cross multiply to solve.  
🗑
Natural Numbers   1,2,3,.... The numbers we COUNT by.  
🗑
Whole Numbers   0,1,2,3... Natural number and 0  
🗑
Integers   Whole numbers and there opposites. ... -2,-1,0,1,2,3...  
🗑
Rational numbers   They EITHER STOP (2, .635, .1, 100) or REPEAT (1/3 = .333333...)Every fraction goes here.  
🗑
Irrational numbers   Never stop or repeat Ex: pi  
🗑
Scientific Notation   A method of writing or displaying numbers in terms of a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. The scientific notation of 10,492, for example, is 1.0492 × 10^4 positive exponent = bigger than 1, negative exponent = smaller than one  
🗑
Fraction to Decimal   Divide numerator (top) by denominator (bottom)EX: 2/5 = 2 divded by 5 = .4  
🗑
Fraction to Percent   Divide numerator by denominator and multiply by 100 or just move the decimal 2 places right. 2/5 = .4 = 40%  
🗑
Percent to Decimal   Move decimal two places left. EX 5% is .05  
🗑
Percent to Fraction   Put the Percent over 100 and reduce. Ex: 50% = 50/100 = 1/2  
🗑
Decimal to Percent   Move decimal two places right. Ex: .045 = 4.5%  
🗑
Decimal to fraction   Move the decimal the amount of spaces needed to make it a whole number (no decimal) and put it over a 1 with as many zeroes as you moved spaces. Ex: .24 (move 2 places) 24/100 = 6/25  
🗑
Substitution   Taking a value and plugging it in for a variable.  
🗑
Variable   A letter/symbol that takes the place of a number.  
🗑
How to find an Interior Angle   3 sided figures = 180 degrees, 4 sided figures = 360. Just add 180 degress for each side above this and then subtract the angles you have from the total.  
🗑
Unit rate   A ratio with the denominator being 1. Ex: 10 apples cost $2.00 so 10/2.00 reduces to 1 apple/.20 cents.  
🗑
Sales Tax   The amount of money ADDED to the total. Ex: 6% tax on $50.06 * 50 = 3 Tax is 3 dollars. Add 3 to 50 to get a total of $53  
🗑
Discount   The amount of money SUBTRACTED from the price/cost. Always done before tax.Ex: 6% tax on $50.06 * 50 = 3 Discount is 3 dollars. Subtract 3 from 50 to get a total of $47

🗑
Slope   The steepness of a line. Rise over Run. Count from one point to another. Go up first(positive), and then Right (positive)or Left(Negative) reduce fraction.  
🗑
Slope Formula   y-y/x-x Take the y-value from on point and subtract the other. Then take the x-value from the first point you used and subtract the other x. Then reduce your fraction.

🗑
Translation   To SLIDE a figure. ADD the x to the x points and y to the y points.  
🗑
Reflection   To FLIP over an axis. If you reflect over the x-axis you keep the x value and change the y to the opposite. If you flip over the y-axis you keep the y-value and change the x to the opposite sign.  
🗑
Rotation   To Rotate an object around the origin. 90 degree counterclockwise - flip the x and y and change the sign of the new x180 degree rotation - change the sign of x and y.
