MENSURATION
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics which deals with the
study of different geometrical shapes, their areas and volumes in
the broadest sense, it is all about the process of measmement.
These are two types of geometrical shapes (1) 2D (2) 3D
Perimeter : Perimeter is sum of all the sides. It is measured in cm,
m, etc.
Area : The area of any figure is the amount of surface enclosed
within its boundary lines. This is measured in square unit like
cm2, m2, etc.
Volume : If an object is solid, then the space occupied by such an
object is called its volume. This is measured in cubic unit like cm3,
m3, etc.
Basic Conversions :

1 km = 10 hm
1 hm = 10 dam
1 dam = 10 m
1 m = 10 dm
1 dm = 10 cm
1 cm = 10 mm

(a) Let the length and breadth of a rectangle are 9 xm and

5 xm respectively.
In a rectangle, area = length breadth
\ 720 = 9x 5x
or x2 = 16 x = 4
Thus, length = 9 4 = 36 m
and breadth = 5 4 = 20 m
Therefore, perimeter of rectangle = 2(36 + 20) = 112 m
