2 of 7

Compound Measures

Speed

Speed = Distance / Time  (Specially Designed Toys)

Density

3 of 7

Circles

Circumference

π x Diameter OR  πD

Area

π x (radius x radius)

4 of 7

Pythagoras

(a x a) + (b x b) = (c x c)

5 of 7

Trigonometry

Sin

Sin = Opposite / Hypotoneuse 

S = O / H

Sine Rule - a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C

Cos

Cos = Adjacent / Hypotoneuse

C = A / H

Cosine Rule - a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A

Tan

Tan = Opposite / Adjacent

T = O / A
