GCSE Maths Geometry Mistakes
Geometry questions often involve diagrams, formulas and units. Careful reading and clear working are very important.
Common Geometry Mistakes
- Mixing up area and perimeter
- Forgetting units squared or cubed
- Using the wrong angle rule
- Substituting the diameter instead of radius
Exam tip: Mark known information on the diagram before calculating.
Common mistake: Circumference and area of a circle use different formulas, so check which one the question asks for.
