Geometry and use of trigonometry
 Circle
  A circle is a set of points that are at the fixed distance (called the radius r) from a fixed point called the center O.
Central angle, inscribed angle

A central angle is double the inscribed angle (formed when two secant lines intersect on the circle) subtended by the same arc.

Proof:  Angles b1 and b2 are external angles of the isosceles triangle's AOC and BOC, hence

b1 = 2a1b2 = 2a2a = a1+ a2    =>    b = b1+ b2 = 2(a1+ a2) = 2a

Inscribed angles subtended by the same arc are equal. An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.

 Construction of a tangent from a point

Construction of a tangent from a point P to a circle c.

The midpoint of the line segment OP is the circumcenter of the quadrilateral PD1OD2. The lines PD1 and PD2 are tangents from P to the given circle c.

Circumference, the length of a circle - the perimeter

 Length of an arc
Applying the proportion,
 Circle and circular sector

By substituting P = 2pr and R = r in the formula for the area of a regular polygon, obtained is the formula for the area of a circle, that is

substituting
 Circular segment

The portion of a circle bounded by an arc and a chord is called a segment. Symbols used in the formulas: c -chord, r -radius, h -height of a segment, A -area of a segment.

 Annulus and annulus segment
Annulus or ring is the region enclosed between two concentric circles.

 Solid geometry
 Prism
A prism is a polyhedron (having five or more faces) with two parallel and congruent polygonal bases, so that all cross-sections taken parallel to the bases are also congruent with the bases, thus all lateral faces (sides) are parallelograms. Lateral faces meet in line segments called lateral edges.
A right prism is one whose lateral faces and lateral edges are perpendicular to its bases. The lateral faces of a right prism are all rectangles, and the height of a right prism is equal to the length of its lateral edge.
A regular prism has regular polygons as bases. A regular polygon is one that has all sides equal in length and all angles equal in measure.
Thus, a right regular prism is one with regular polygon bases and perpendicular rectangular lateral sides.
Meaning of symbols used in pictures and in formulas are,
 d - diagonal, h - altitude,  P - perimeter of base,  B - base,  S - surface of a solid figure,  Slat - lateral surface,  V - volume of a solid figure.  
S = 2B + Slat      - surface of a prism
Slat = P · h         - lateral surface
V = B · h            - volume of a prism
B - area of base,  P - perimeter of base,  h - height of a prism
  Cube

A solid with six identical square faces that are mutually perpendicular.

S = 2B + Slat = 2a2 + 4a2 = 6a2     - surface of cube
V = B ·= a2 · a = a3                         - volume of cube
 Rectangular prism or rectangular parallelepiped (cuboid)

A solid of which the six faces are mutually perpendicular rectangles is called a rectangular parallelepiped or a rectangular prism.

S = 2B + Slat = 2(ab + ac + bc)     - surface
V = B ·= a · b · c                               - volume 
 Right triangular prism

A right triangular prism is made of two triangular bases and three rectangular faces with lateral edges perpendicular to the bases.

S = 2B + Slat a ha + (a + b + ch     - surface
V = B ·= 1/2 · a ha · h                               - volume
 Regular right triangular prism

A prism made of two equilateral triangular bases and three identical rectangular sides is called a regular right triangular prism.
