Various formulas necessary? 30 Jul 2013, 02:45

Hey, my quant is around 40-43 I 'd say. I am now asking myself whether I need formulas such as:

-Arc Mesaure (Intersecting chords)
- Arc measure (intersecting tangents/ secants)
- Surface + Volume of "Cone"
- Surface + Volume of a Sphere


I have never encountered a question that required those formulas... (Maybe because I am not in the 47-51 range), is it therefor useful to learn them or is the risk of getting confused too high as I will probably never encounter such exercises in the real test?

Hi German
Please study the formulas for volume and surface of cone,cylinder and sphere.

It can be useful in any ranges.

I may have studied but I don't think they ever came handy or useful... i can't remember. I would say try to study them but don't focus too much on these formulas in particular. My 2 cents.
