    Study Notes

    Mensuration Overview

    • Mensuration involves measuring lengths, areas, and volumes using algebraic equations and geometric calculations.
    • Divided into two main categories:
      • Plane Mensuration
      • Solid Mensuration

    Plane Mensuration

    • Focuses on two-dimensional geometrical figures.
    • Utilizes principles of Euclidean geometry to calculate lengths and areas.

    Solid Mensuration

    • Deals with three-dimensional shapes and their volumes.
    • Emphasizes calculations in three-dimensional Euclidean space.

    Axiom Method

    • Used to develop theories based on self-evident principles known as axioms or postulates.
    • Axioms are accepted as truths without requiring proof.

    Theorems and Propositions

    • Theorems are statements that must be proven through logical reasoning.
    • Mathematical theorems are validated theoretically, while scientific theories rely on practical observations and experimentation.
    • Propositions are statements needing proof but hold lesser importance than theorems.

    Supporting Statements

    • Lemma: A proven statement utilized to help prove a theorem.
    • Corollary: A statement derived as a consequence of a theorem, indicating its relationship to the theorem.
