SIMPLE SOLID MENSURATION MATLAB PROGRAM
1. Objective:
The activity aims to create matlab program that will ask the user to choose between the two types of figures in solid
mensuration and output the area, perimeter/circumference, volume or surface area of a certain figure.

2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):

The students shall be able to:
2.1 create matlab programs that will determine the area and perimeter of five(5) plane figures
2.2 create matlab programs that will determine the volume and surface area of five(5) solid figures
2.3 use switch…case… break in creating matlab program for a simple solid mensuration problem-solving
situation.

3. Discussion :
Solid Mensuration is a branch of mathematics that deals with the area and perimeter/circumference of plane figures
and volume and surface area of solid figures.

4. Resources:
Matlab

5. Procedure:
1. Using the matlab editor , choose File/New/ Blank m-file , type the following:
clc;
disp('Area of the Rectangle');
length=input('Enter the length of the rectangle: ');
width=input('Enter the width of the rectangle :');
area=length*width;
fprintf('The area of the rectangle is %0.2f. ',area );

2. Save the file as areaRectangle. Run the program and record the results.
3. Create m-file for the area of the square, right triangle, oblique triangle, circle and ellipse.
4. Create m-file for the perimeter of square, rectangle, right triangle, oblique triangle, circle and ellipse. For
circle, use circumference instead of perimeter.
5. Create m-file for the volume of cone, sphere, rectangular parallelepiped, right circular cylinder and cube.
6. Create m-file for the surface area of cone, sphere, rectangular parallelepiped, right circular cylinder and
cube.
7. Using the matlab editor, choose File/New/Blank m-file, type the following:
clc;
disp('Area and Perimeter of the Rectangle');
choose=input('\n 1. Area of the Rectangle \n 2. Perimeter of the Rectangle \n Choose 1 or 2: ');
switch(choose)
case 1;
length=input('Enter the length of the rectangle: ');
width=input('Enter the width of the rectangle :');
area=length*width;
fprintf('The area of the rectangle is %0.2f. ',area );
break;
case 2;
length=input('Enter the length of the rectangle: ');
 width=input('Enter the width of the rectangle :');
perimeter= 2*length + 2*width;
fprintf('The perimeter of the rectangle is %0.2f. ',perimeter );
break;
end
8. Create a matlab program that will ask the user to choose between plane figures and solid figures.
If the user will choose plane figures, he will then be ask to choose among the five (5) plane figures as mentioned in
Procedure No. 4. After choosing any of the five (5) plane figures, he will then be ask to choose between area and
perimeter. If the user will choose solid figures, he will then be ask to choose among the five (5) solid figures as
mentioned in Procedure No. 5. After choosing any of the five (5) solid figures, he will then be ask to choose between
volume and surface area. Necessary inputs are needed and the output will be any of the area or perimeter of any of
the five (5) plane figures and any of the volume and surface area of any of the five (5) solid figures.

7. Conclusion:
I therefore conclude that, MATLAB is very useful in terms of computing areas, perimeters and any plane figures in
field of Mathethics, knowing different formulas of plane figures, just input some codes and then there’s an easy way
to solve the areas and perimeters by just inputting the values of measurements.
