There is some geometric equivalent for any formula that can be built using some arbitrary combination of the four operations of arithmetic, plus square roots. If you allow for either 3D geometry or origami folds, you can extend this allowing for cube roots too. Note that the geometric equivalent is not going to be necessarily trivial or intuitive in most cases, though.
