MENSURATION- ESSENTIAL POINTS


  • Perimeter: Length of boundary of a simple closed figure.
    • Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(l + b); l is length and b is breadth.
    • Perimeter of Square = 4b; b is length of side
    • Perimeter of Parallelogram = 2(sum of adjacent sides)
  • Area: The measure of region enclosed in a simple closed figure.
    • Area of a trapezium = ½ x sum of the lengths of parallel sides × perpendicular distance between them.
    • Area of a rhombus = half of the product of its diagonals.
    • Area of triangle = ½ x base x height
  • Length of diagonal of:
    • Rectangle = √(l2+b2 )
    • Square = √2a
  • Surface area of a solid is sum of areas of its faces.
    • Surface area of Cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
    • Surface area of Cube = 6l2
    • Surface area of Cylinder = 2πr(r + h)
  • Volume: Amount of region occupied by solid is called Volume
    • Volume of Cuboid = l x b x h
    • Volume of Cube = l3
    • Volume of Cylinder = πr2h
  • 1 cm3 = 1 ml
  • 1 L = 1000 cm3
  • 1 m3 = 1000000 cm3 = 1000 L
