MENSURATION
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics which deals b
with the study of geometric shapes, their area, volume Area = 4a 2  b 2 where "a" is length of each of
4
and related parameters. We have looked at properties of
the two equal sides and b is the third side

figures, we will also look at surface areas and volumes of
“solids”. Solids are objects, which have three dimensions QUADRILATERAL
(plane figures have only two dimensions).

AREAS AND VOLUMES OF SOLIDS
Solids are three-dimensional objects which, in addition to CUBE
area, have volume also. For solids, two different types of
areas are defined A right prism whose base is a square and height is equal
to the side of the base is called a cube.
(a) Lateral surface area or curved surface area and
Volume = a3 where a is the edge of the cube
(b) Total surface area Lateral Surface Area = 4a2
Total Surface Area = 6a2
As the name itself indicates, lateral surface area is the The longest diagonal of the cube (i.e., the line joining
area of the LATERAL surfaces of the solid. Total surface one vertex on the top face to the diagonally opposite
area includes the areas of the top and the bottom vertex on the bottom face) is called the diagonal of the
surfaces also of the solid. Hence, Total surface area = cube. The length of the diagonal of the cube is a 3 .
