Area formulae MBB

Question

Do we need to know area formulae for circles and squares, triangles etc and how to calculate the area covered if a circle is placed inside a square etc..for MBB case interviews?

Answer 1

Unlikley but its pretty basic... you would question the CV as you would have covered them in middle and/or high school...

Answer 2

Hi, it can rarely help during market sizing. I would say mainly the formula for squares, but I'm sure you already know it :)

Answer 4

No.

You only need the ones in this document.
