This document is a formulae sheet for the GCSE Mathematics Higher Tier, intended for exams in 2026. It provides essential formulas covering various mathematical topics including perimeter, area, and volume of shapes like trapeziums and prisms, as well as circle formulas for circumference and area. It also includes the quadratic formula for solving quadratic equations of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, and formulas related to Pythagoras' Theorem and Trigonometry in right-angled and general triangles, such as the sine rule, cosine rule, and the area of a triangle using sine. Furthermore, it details the compound interest formula, calculating total accrued amount based on principal, interest rate, and compounding frequency. Finally, it presents probability formulas, specifically for combined events P(A or B) and conditional probability P(A and B). The sheet is copyrighted by AQA and its licensors.

FAQs

What is the area of a trapezium formula provided?

The area of a trapezium is given by 1/2 (a + b) h, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is their perpendicular separation.

What is the formula for the circumference and area of a circle?

The circumference of a circle is 2πr or πd, where r is the radius and d is the diameter. The area of a circle is πr².

What are the trigonometric ratios for a right-angled triangle?

In a right-angled triangle ABC, sin A = a/c, cos A = b/c, and tan A = a/b, where a and b are the lengths of the sides and c is the hypotenuse.
