If you're asking for help learning/understanding something mathematical, post in the Quick Questions thread or /r/learnmath. Requests for calculation or estimation of real-world problems and values are best suited for the Quick Questions thread, /r/askmath or /r/theydidthemath. For example, if you think your question can be answered quickly, you should instead post it in the Quick Questions thread. Questions on /r/math should spark discussion. Rule 2: Questions should spark discussion Please avoid derailing such discussions into general political discussion, and report any comments that do so.

In particular, any political discussion on /r/math should be directly related to mathematics - all threads and comments should be about concrete events and how they affect mathematics. If one side is 3 and one side is 5, call the third side x.All posts and comments should be directly related to mathematics, including topics related to the practice, profession and community of mathematics. The sum of any two sides is greater than the third. Keep in mind that the altitude divides the triangle into two little right triangles, so the Pythagorean Theorem (below) may be involved in finding some of the necessary lengths. If a GRE geometry question ask for the area of the triangle, it will provide a way to find at least one base and the corresponding height. Now, of course, the GRE is unlikely to give you all that information, three side lengths and three altitudes, in the course of a geometry problem. Thus, for any triangle, we potentially have three different b & h combinations that would allow us to calculate the area. An altitude is a line that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the side we are considering the base. Similarly, the letter h is height: by “height,” we mean the length of a segment known as an altitude. In fact, any of the three sides can be the base. The letter b stands for the base: what’s the base of a triangle? Naïvely, folks will say the “bottom,” the horizontal side, is the base, but that’s not the whole story. There’s more to that simple formula than means the eye.

A right angle is made up of 90 degrees.Bookmark this page, and read on for more in-depth explanations of each geometry formula. Need to see the key geometry formulas in one place? You’re in luck! Here’s a list of geometry formulas you’ll need on test day. If you’re interested in more than geometry, try our more general GRE Math Formula eBook! Sample GRE Geometry Formula Practice Questions.

This list is by no means exhaustive, but for must-know concepts you’ve come to the right place. Below are the GRE geometry rules and geometry formulas you have to know. That doesn’t mean that the GRE is void of geometry. Well, if you are taking the GRE, you were by no means mistaken-proofs and indeed all of trig are nowhere to be found on GRE math. Perhaps you recall with more than a little dread your high school geometry class: fifteen-step proofs and the law of cosines were two things you were certain you’d never see again.
