Rule of 9s Burns Cheat Sheet
- Master the Pythagorean Theorem - Think of it as the OG rule for right triangles: the square of the longest side (hypotenuse) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It's your go‑to trick for finding missing lengths and acing those geometry quizzes. Embrace your inner Euclid and watch your confidence skyrocket! Toppers Bulletin
- Understand the Distance Formula - This formula is just Pythagoras in disguise: compute the straight‑line distance between two points \((x, y)\) and \((x₂, y₂)\) with a quick square, subtract, sum and root routine. Perfect for coordinate geometry and plotting points like a pro. Soon you'll be racing through graphing assignments! Toppers Bulletin
- Learn the Slope Formula - Slope measures the steepness of a line: calculate rise over run between two points and you're golden. It's like giving your line a personality - positive, negative, zero or undefined! Master this to sketch lines effortlessly and solve algebra puzzles in no time. Toppers Bulletin
- Apply the Quadratic Formula - When you've got \(ax² + bx + c = 0\), plug into \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b² - 4ac}}\) to find the magic roots. This formula takes the guesswork out of quadratic equations and guarantees you'll find all real solutions. It's like having a mathematical Swiss Army knife! Toppers Bulletin
- Explore the Law of Sines - For any triangle, the ratio of a side to the sine of its opposite angle stays constant: \(a/\sin A = b/\sin B = c/\sin C\). Ideal for finding missing sides or angles in non‑right triangles without breaking a sweat. Turn every triangle problem into a piece of cake. Toppers Bulletin
- Understand the Law of Cosines - Think of this as the Pythagorean Theorem's more flexible cousin: \(a² = b² + c² - 2bc\cos A\). It helps you solve triangles when you know two sides and the included angle, or all three sides. Geometry just got a whole lot cooler! Toppers Bulletin
- Grasp Exponential Growth and Decay - Model those skyrocketing populations or radioactive breakdowns with \(A = A₀e^\). Here, \(A₀\) is your starting point, \(k\) is the growth/decay rate, and \(t\) is time. Whether you're studying biology or finance, this formula makes change over time a breeze. Toppers Bulletin
- Memorize Key Algebraic Identities - Speed up your algebra by knowing \((a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²\) and \((a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²\) off by heart. These shortcuts turn long expansions into quick mental math. Once these identities are locked in, simplifying expressions feels like a fun puzzle! BYJU'S
- Calculate Areas and Perimeters - Don't get tripped up on shapes: rectangles use \(A = l \times w\) and \(P = 2(l + w)\), while circles roll with \(A = \pi r²\) and \(C = 2\pi r\). These basics power everything from design projects to real‑world problem solving. Soon, you'll see geometry everywhere you look! BYJU'S
- Apply Heron's Formula - When you know all three sides \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), find the semi‑perimeter \(s = \frac{a+b+c}\) and then \(A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\). It's like magic - no need to drop a height! Perfect for tricky triangle area problems that stump your classmates. BYJU'S
