This was a labor of html for me =) BTW - formulas is also a valid plural form according to Merriam-Webster. Please message me if I made any errors which I'm sure I have.

Two Dimensional Objects


Square


with side of length a

Area = a2
Perimeter = 4a


Rectangle


with sides of length a and width b:

Area = ab
Perimeter = 2a + 2b


Parallelogram

			_________    ___
		       /        /     |
                      /        / a    h
                     /____b___/      _|_

                   /____b_____\   _|_

Area = 0.5 bh = 0.5 ab sin(th) = sqrt(s(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))
s = semiperimeter = 0.5 (a + b + c)

                    /_________b_________\   _|_


Area = 0.5 h(a+b)

Area = 0.25 nb2 cot(pi/n)
Perimeter = nb


Circle


with radius r

Area = pi r2
Perimeter (Circumference) = 2 pi r


Ellipse


with semimajor axis a and semiminor axis b

Area = pi ab
Perimeter = 2 pi (0.5(a2 + b2)) ...approximately

more exactly, it is ...
            0.5 pi
             _
            /
            |
            |  /     a2-b2         \0.5
perimeter = |  | 1 - _____ sin(th) |    dth 
            |  \      a2           /
 	    |
           _/
           0
