    Mensuration and Mensuration Formulas

    Mensuration is the branch of mathematics which studies the measurement of the


    geometric figures and their parameters like length, volume, shape, surface area,
    lateral surface area, etc. You will study the mensuration formulas and properties
    of different geometric shapes and figures in maths in this article.

    Mensuration Maths- Definition


    A branch of mathematics which talks about the length, volume or area of different
    shapes is called Mensuration. These shapes exist in 2 dimension or 3
    dimensions. Let’s learn the difference between the two.
    Difference Between 2D and 3D shapes
    2D Shape 3D Shape

    If a shape is surrounded by three or If a shape is surrounded by a no. of


    more straight lines in a plane, then it is surfaces or planes then it is a 3D
    a 2D shape. shape.

    These shapes have no depth or height. These are also called as solid shapes
    and unlike 2D they have both height
    or depth.

    These shapes have only 2-D length These are called Three dimensional
    and breadth. as they have depth, breadth and
    length.

    We can measure their area and We can measure their volume, CSA,
    Perimeter. LSA or TSA.

    Mensuration in Maths- Important Terminologies


    Let’s learn a few more definitions related to this topic.

    Area A M2 The area is the surface which is covered by the closed


    / shape.

    Perimeter P C The measure of the continuous line along the boundary of


    m/ the given figure is called a Perimeter.

    Volume V C In a 3D shape, the space included is called a Volume.

    Curved C M2 If there’s a curved surface, then the total area is called a


    Surface S / Curved Surface area. Example: Sphere or Cylinder.
    Area A cm

    Lateral L M2 The total area of all the lateral surfaces that surrounds the
    Surface S / figure is called the Lateral Surface area.
    area A cm

    Total T M2 If there are many surfaces like in 3D figures, then the sum
    Surface S / of the area of all these surfaces in a closed shape is called
    Area A cm Total Surface area.

    Square – M2 The area covered by a square of side one unit is called a

    Mensuration Formulas
    Now let’s learn all the important mensuration formulas involving 2D and 3D
    shapes. Using this mensuration formula list, it will be easy to solve the
    mensuration problems. Students can also download the mensuration formulas list

    Mensuration Problems
    Question : Find the area and perimeter of a square whose side is 5 cm?
    Solution:
    Given:
    Side = 5 cm
    Area of a square = a2 square units
    Substitute the value of “a” in the formula, we get
    Area of a square = 52
    A = 5 . 5 = 25
    Therefore, the area of a square = 25 cm2
    The perimeter of a square = 4a units
    P = 4 . 5 =20
    Therefore, the perimeter of a square = 20 cm.
