Study Notes
- Mensuration is a branch of mathematics dealing with the measurement of geometrical figures and their parameters.
- It is used in fields such as engineering, architecture, physics, and construction.
- Lines, angles, triangles, squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and polygons are commonly studied in mensuration.
- Two-dimensional shapes have their area and perimeter calculated using different formulas based on their properties.
- Three-dimensional shapes have their volume and surface area calculated using different formulas based on their properties.
- Formulas used in mensuration include area of a rectangle, area of a triangle, circumference of a circle, volume of a cylinder, and surface area of a sphere.
- The area of a rectangle is A = l x b, where A is the area, l is the length, and b is the breadth.
- The circumference of a circle is C = 2Ï€r, where C is the circumference, and r is the radius.
- The volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
- The surface area of a sphere is A = 4Ï€r^2, where A is the surface area, and r is the radius.
