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

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

Best,

Hi there,

No you do not - don't worry, geometry/trigonometry isn't required here! Save your PieRSquared for the GRE/GMAT :)
