This is a collection of common geometry formulas/equations that can be printed and/or posted for student reference, possibly given for use on a quiz, etc. This is the original MS Word document, so feel free to add or remove equations as necessary.

This printout of some NASA news article headings gives teachers the chance to discuss the crash of the Mars Climate Orbiter, which happened because one contracted company built part of the computer to think in metric units and another built a different part to think in imperial units. That's $193 million wasted because people didn't carefully label their units! The back of the printout has the SI unit prefixes, so this can be an introduction to them, and how metric conversion is so much simpler
