18. Quadrilateral
 Area =1/2 × Diagonal × (Sum of offsets)
19. Kite:
 Area  = d1×d2/2
 Perimeter  = 2 × Sum on non-adjacent sides
20. Right Circular Cylinder:
 Volume of Cylinder = π r2 h
 Lateral Surface Area (LSA or CSA) = 2π r h
 Total Surface Area = TSA = 2 π r (r + h)
 Volume of hollow cylinder = π r h(R2 – r2)
21. Right Circular cone:
 Volume = 1/3 π r2h
 Curved surface area: CSA=  π r l
 Total surface area = TSA = πr(r + l )
22. Sphere
 Volume: V = 4/3 πr3
 Surface Area: S = 4πr2
23. Hemisphere:
 Volume = 2/3 π r3
 Curved surface area(CSA) = 2 π r2
 Total surface area = TSA = 3 π r2
24. Prism:
 Volume = Base area x h
 Lateral Surface area = perimeter of the base x h
26. Pyramid:
 Volume of a right pyramid = (1/3) × area of the base × height.
 Area of the lateral faces of a right pyramid = (1/2) × perimeter of the base x slant height.
 Area of whole surface of a right pyramid = area of the lateral faces + area of the base.
27. Tetrahedron:
 Area of its slant sides = 3a2√3/4
 Area of its whole surface = √3a2 
 Volume of the tetrahedron = (√2/12) a 3
28. Regular Hexagon:
 Area =  3√3 a2 / 2
 Perimeter  = 6a
Some other Formula:
 Area of Pathway running across the middle of  a rectangle = w(l+b-w)
 Perimeter of Pathway around a rectangle field = 2(l+b+4w)
 Area of Pathway around a rectangle field =2w(l+b+2w)
 Perimeter of Pathway inside a rectangle field =2(l+b-4w)
 Area of Pathway inside a rectangle field =2w(l+b-2w)
 Area of four walls = 2h(l+b)
