Concept #1. What is Mensuration ?
Learning objectives
- units and measurement
- Mensuration is the branch of Mathematics dealing with measurement of angles, length, area, and volume.
- There are standard and non-standard ways of measurements.
- Importance of having standardised measurements.
- The length of the total boundary of a figure is called its perimeter. The Metric unit of perimeter is same as the unit of length - Metre.
- The amount of surface covered by an object is called it area. The Metric unit of area is square metre.
- The capacity of an object to hold is called its volume.
- They should develop the ability to calculate the area, perimeter, volume or side of many different figures.
