Mensuration is a branch of mathematics that deals with measuring geometric figures, including their length, area, volume, and surface area. It provides formulas and techniques for calculating these attributes for 2D (plane) shapes and 3D (solid) objects.
Types of Mensuration
- 2D Mensuration- Deals with the measurement of the perimeter and area of two-dimensional shapes like triangles, rectangles, circles, and polygons.
- 3D Mensuration – Involves the calculation of surface area and volume of three-dimensional objects like cylinders, cones, spheres, and cubes.
