What is mensuration in the context of geometric figures?
The process of measuring
To calculate measurements of 2D shapes, you can use formulas for area and
perimeter
.
The area of a rectangle with length 5cm and width 3cm is
15
The perimeter of a circle is calculated using the formula π ×
Diameter
Calculation focuses on the mathematical computations needed in
mensuration
True
Match the 3D shape with its volume formula:
Cube ↔️ Side³
Sphere ↔️ (4/3) × π × Radius³
Cylinder ↔️ π × Radius² × Height
What does calculation involve in mensuration?
Mathematical operations
What is the primary focus of mensuration in geometry?
Measuring geometric figures
Mensuration involves finding the area, perimeter, and other
dimensions
Mensuration includes finding the volume and surface area of 3D
shapes
What does mensuration involve measuring?
Geometric figures
To convert cm to meters, you multiply by
0.01
True
What is the primary focus of calculation in mensuration?
Computation
The area of a circle is
π
× Radius²
True
What is the volume formula for a cube?
Side³
To convert 25 cm to meters, the conversion factor is 1 cm = 0.01
meters
The conversion factor from sq cm to sq meters is
0.0001
Measurement conversion involves changing measurements from one
unit
to another.
The primary difference between mensuration and calculation is that mensuration involves
measuring
, while calculation involves mathematical operations.
Match the 2D shape with its area formula:
Rectangle ↔️ Length × Width
Triangle ↔️ 1/2 × Base × Height
Circle ↔️ π × Radius²
Measurement conversion relies on the use of conversion
factors
.
