Mensuration Formulasd

The document discusses units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity, and mass. It provides formulas for calculating the area of common shapes like rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. Formulas are also given for calculating the surface area of solids with plane or curved surfaces, as well as the volumes of solids of uniform cross-section, pyramids, cones, spheres, and compound solids. Conversion factors between smaller and larger units are also outlined.
