Mensuration Formulas

Mensuration Formulas
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics which deals with the study of Geometric shapes, their area, volume
and related parameters.
Some important mensuration formulas are:
1. Area of rectangle (A) = length(l) Breath(b)

2. Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2 (Length(l) + Breath(b))

3. Area of a square (A) = Length (l) Length (l)

4. Perimeter of a square (P) = 4 Length (l)

5. Area of a parallelogram(A) = Length(l) Height(h)

6. Perimeter of a parallelogram (P) = 2 (length(l) + Breadth(b))

7. Area of a triangle (A) = (Base(b) Height(b)) / 2

And for a triangle with sides measuring a , b and c , Perimeter = a+b+c


and s = semi perimeter = perimeter / 2 = (a+b+c)/2

And also: Area of triangle =


This formulas is also knows as Herons formula.

8. Area of triangle(A) =
Where A, B and C are the vertex and angle A , B , C are respective angles of triangles and a , b , c are the
respective opposite sides of the angles as shown in figure below:

area of triangle - mensuration

9. Area of isosceles triangle =


Where a = length of two equal side , b= length of base of isosceles triangle.

10. Area of trapezium (A) =


Where a and b are the length of parallel sides and h is the perpendicular distance between a and b .

11. Perimeter of a trapezium (P) = sum of all sides
