CBSE Class 10 Maths Formulas and Important Equations

Maths is an important and basic subject for the school students and most of the students also consider it as a tough subject as well because of its practical nature. This is a subject that includes a lot of formulas that are used for problem-solving and that too requires a lot of practice to become a master in Maths concepts and their formulas. Think of a question related to the area or volume of any object. You can not find out its answers unless you are aware of these formulas. Thus, it becomes very important to learn and revise these formulas regularly if we even talk about basic Maths for Class 10.

Arithmetic Progression Formula Class 10

If you have a sequence of numbers like a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, and so on, where 'a' is the first number and 'd' is the common difference between each consecutive pair of numbers, you can represent it as an Arithmetic Progression (AP). The formula for finding the nth term of this arithmetic progression is given as follows:


nth term for arithmetic progression

a + (n-1) d

Sum of the first n terms 

$S_n = \dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n−1)d]$


Trigonometry Formula Class 10

In 10th class trigonometry formulas focus on three main functions: Sine, Cosine, and Tangent, which apply to right-angled triangles. These functions are useful for calculating angles and sides in such triangles. Additionally, we can derive formulas for secant, cosecant, and cotangent using the sine, cosine, and tangent formulas.


Consider a right-angled triangle ABC, where angle θ is at point B.


1. $\sin \theta = \dfrac{\text{Side opposite to angle}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \dfrac{\text { Perpendicular }}{\text { Hypotenuse }} = P/H$

2. $\cos \theta = \dfrac{\text { Adjacent side to angle } \theta}{\text { Hypotenuse }} = \dfrac{\text { Base }}{\text { Hypotenuse }} = B/H$

3. $\tan \theta = \dfrac{\text {Side opposite to angle }\theta}{\text {Adjacent side to angle }\theta} = P/B$

4. $\sec \theta = \dfrac{1}{\cos \theta}$

5. $\cot \theta = \dfrac{1}{\tan \theta}$

6. $\text{cosec} \theta = \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta}$

7. $\tan \theta = \dfrac{{Sin} \theta}{{Cos} \theta}$

Other Trigonometric formulas:

  • sin(90° – θ) = cos θ

  • cos(90° – θ) = sin θ

  • tan(90° – θ) = cot θ

  • cot(90° – θ) = tan θ

  • sec(90° – θ) = cosecθ

  • cosec(90° – θ) = secθ

  • sin2θ + cos2 θ = 1

  • sec2 θ = 1 + tan2θ for 0° ≤ θ < 90°

  • Cosec2 θ = 1 + cot2 θ for 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°


Circles Formula Class 10

  • Circumference = 2 π r

  • Area = π r2

  • Area of the sector of angle θ = (θ/360) × π r2

  • Length of an arc of a sector of angle θ = (θ/360) × 2 π r


Surface Area and Volumes Formulas Class 10

Diameter of sphere

2r

Total surface area of cuboid.

2 (l×b + b×h + l×h)

Volume of Cuboid.

l × b × h

Perimeter of cuboid

4(l + b +h)

Length of the longest diagonal of a cuboid

√(l2 + b2 + h2)

Surface area of sphere.

4 π r2

Volume of Sphere.

4/3 π r3

Curved surface area of Cylinder.

2πrh

Area of two circular bases.

2πr2

Total surface area of Cylinder.

Circumference of Cylinder + Curved surface area of Cylinder = 2 πrh + 2 πr2

Volume of Cylinder.

πr2 h

Slant height of cone.

l = √(r2 + h2)

Curved surface area of cone.

πrl

Total surface area of cone

πr (l + r)

Volume of cone.

⅓ π r2 h


When it comes to cubes, all the sides are the same length, and we call that length 'a'. Now, if you want to find the surface area or volume of a cube, you just need to use 'a' for all the sides. Easy, right? No need to repeat the same lengths for length, breadth, and height in that case. Keep it simple!


Statistics Class 10 Formulas

The statistics Class 10 Formulas focuses on figuring out the mean, median, and mode of grouped data.


1. Mean: In this, the grouped data can be found by 3 methods

  1. Direct Method: $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n f_i x_i}{\sum_{i=1}^n f_i}$

  2. Assumed mean method: $\bar{x}=a+\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n f_i d_i}{\sum_{i=1}^n f_i}$

  3. Step deviation method: $\bar{x}=a+\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n f_i u_i}{\sum_{i=1}^n f_i} \times h$

2. Mode: $\text { Mode }=l+\dfrac{f_1-f_0}{2 f_1-f_0-f_2} \times h$

3. Median: $\text { Median }=l+\dfrac{\frac{n}{2}-cf}{f} \times h$


Section Formula Class 10

\[x = \frac{{x_1 \cdot m + x_2 \cdot n}}{{m + n}}\]

\[y = \frac{{y_1 \cdot m + y_2 \cdot n}}{{m + n}}\]


Here, $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are the coordinates of the endpoints of the line segment.


m and n are the ratios in which the line segment is divided.


Keep in mind, the sum of m and n should be equal to 1. Section Formula Class 10 helps find the coordinates of a point P that divides a line segment AB in the given ratio m:n.
