### Essential Formulas of Euclidean Geometry
Euclidean plane and solid geometry form the bedrock of architectural drafting, physics, and advanced mathematics:
- **Interior & Exterior Angles:** The interior angles of an $-sided polygon always sum to $(n - 2) imes 180^\circ$. The exterior angles of any convex polygon sum to exactly $360^\circ$.
- **Area & Perimeter Formulas:** Triangle: $\frac{1}{2}bh$; Rectangle: \times W$; Parallelogram: $; Trapezoid: $\frac{b_1 + b_2}{2}h$; Circle: = \pi r^2$ with Circumference = 2\pi r$.
- **Right Triangle Relationships:** The Pythagorean Theorem states ^2 + b^2 = c^2$. Special right triangles include $45^\circ-45^\circ-90^\circ$ (sides : x : x\sqrt{2}$) and $30^\circ-60^\circ-90^\circ$ (sides : x\sqrt{3} : 2x$).
- **Three-Dimensional Volume:** Rectangular Box: \times W \times H$; Cylinder: $\pi r^2 h$; Cone: $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$; Sphere: $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$.
