2014 GED® Test Resources Mathematics Formula Sheet & Explanation The 2014 GED® Mathematical Reasoning test contains a formula sheet, which displays formulas relating to geometric measurement and certain algebra concepts. Formulas are provided to testtakers so that they may focus on application, rather than the memorization, of formulas. Area of a: | square | A = s2 | | | --- | --- | --- | | rectangle | A = lw | | | parallelogram | A = bh | | | triangle | A = !! bh | | | trapezoid | A = !! h(b1 + b2) | | | circle
Perimeter of a: | A = πr2 | | | square | P = 4s | | | rectangle | P = 2l + 2w | | | triangle | P = s1 + s2 + s3 | | | Circumference of a circle
Surface area and volume of a: | C = 2πr OR C = πd; π ≈ 3.14 | | | rectangular prism | SA = 2 lw + 2 lh + 2wh | V = lwh | | right prism | SA = ph + 2B | V = Bh | | cylinder | SA = 2πrh + 2πr2 | V = πr2h | | pyramid | SA = !! ps + B | V = !!

FAQs

What topics are covered in the 2014 GED® mathematics formula sheet?

It covers geometry formulas for area, perimeter, circumference, surface area, and volume, plus algebra relationships for lines and quadratics, and basic applications like interest and distance.

How are mean and median defined on the formula sheet?

Mean is the total of values in a data set divided by the number of elements. Median is the middle value for an odd count, or the average of the two middle values for an even count.

Which line equation forms are included?

The sheet includes slope of a line, slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), and point-slope form (y − y1 = m(x − x1)).

What algebra and geometry theorems or formulas are provided?

It provides the standard form of a quadratic equation, the quadratic formula, and the Pythagorean theorem (a2 + b2 = c2), along with simple interest (I = Prt) and distance formula (d = rt).
