Math_and_evs Key Concepts & Formulas
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 * (Length + Breadth) | Area of Rectangle = Length * Breadth. Perimeter of Square = 4 * Side | Area of Square = Side * Side. HCF * LCM = Product of two numbers. 1 Kilometer = 1,000 Meters | 1 Kilogram = 1,000 Grams | 1 Litre = 1,000 Millilitres.
Dead Sea is the saltiest body of water in the world (~300 grams salt per litre of water; humans float without sinking). Pashmina shawl is as warm as 6 normal sweaters and takes 250 hours to weave by hand from Changthangi mountain goats at 5000m altitude. Malaria is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquito; Ronald Ross discovered this in 1902 and won Nobel Prize. Quinine from Cinchona tree bark cures malaria.
