Introduction
Mensuration
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics that studies the
measurement of geometric figures and their parameters like length,
volume, shape, surface area, lateral surface area, etc.
Length
The measurement or extent of something from end to end; the greater
of two or the greatest of three dimensions of a body. Various terms for
the length of a fixed object are used, and these include height, which is
vertical length or vertical extent, and width, breadth or depth. Height
is used when there is a base from which vertical measurements can be
taken. Width or breadth usually refer to a shorter dimension when
length is the longest one. Depth is used for the third dimension of a
three-dimensional object.

which has a diameter of 2.6 cm.

MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATION
A. ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS
There are four basic operations in arithmetic: addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division. However, subtraction is the inverse of addition,
and division is the inverse of multiplication. Therefore, the laws of arithmetic
are defined only for addition and multiplication. There are two types of laws
that apply to addition and multiplication.
Commutative Law
The first type of law is the commutative law. This law says that it makes no
difference in what order two numbers are added or multiplied.
For example,
3 + 7 = 7 + 3 = 10 and 3 x 5 = 5 x 3 = 15
For any two numbers a and b the commutative laws are, therefore,
a+b=b+a
axb=bxa
Observe, however, that subtraction and division are not commutative:
7 - 3 is not equal to 3 - 7
2 + 6 is not equal to 6 + 2
Associate Law
The second type of law is the associative law. This law states that if three
numbers are to be added or multiplied together, it makes no difference if the
operations start with the first and second numbers or with the second and
third. For example, in addition, if you want to add
Distributive law
Another important law of arithmetic which combines multiplication and
addition is the distributive law. This law says that multiplication distributes
over addition. For any three numbers a, b, and c, a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c)
For example,
FRACTIONS
Calculations with fractions, decimals and percentages are very
important in technical work. Mistakes are often made because the concepts
are not understood well enough. The calculator can prevent some of these
mistakes, but it is not a substitute for clear understanding. Study this

section and the next one thoroughly. The more problems you do correctly,
the better you will grasp the concepts.
Reducing fractions
The fraction line means division, but since 8 does not divide evenly
into 6 the fraction cannot be simplified to a whole number. However, it can
be reduced to lowest terms by dividing out common factors (divisors) in the
numerator and the denominator.
6/8 = 2/2 x 3/4 = 3/4
To reduce a fraction into lowest terms, it is not necessary to show the
factors before dividing. You can just divide the numerator and denominator
of the preceding fraction by 2 to get the result. The following examples with
fractions are designed to be done without the calculator to reinforce your
skills in arithmetic.
EXAMPLE: Simplify (reduce to lowest terms):
28/42
Solution: The common factors of 28 and 42 are 2 and 7 (or 14). You
can divide the numerator and denominator by 2 and then 7 (or 14):
28/42 = 14/21 = 2/3
You can also first factor the numerator and the denominator into their
smallest factors and then divide out the common factors:
28/42 = 2/2 x 2/3 x 7/7 = 2/3
The smallest factors of a number are numbers that have no other
factors except one and the number itself. These smallest factors are called
prime numbers.
For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and so forth are prime numbers. It is
important to emphasize again that you can only divide out factors in the
numerator and denominator of a fraction. If numbers are
separated by a + or - sign, then they are not factors. Factors are always
separated by a multiplication sign.
For example, in the fraction
5+1
5x 7
4 is not a factor in the numerator but is a factor in the denominator

Multiplying and dividing fractions
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators and the denominators
A/B x C/D = A x C / B x D
You then reduce the result to lowest terms. However, you can divide out
common factors first that are in the numerator and denominator of either
fraction and then multiply. This simplifies the multiplication. Study the next
two examples, which show this procedure.
Multiply the following fractions:
3/16 x 2/9
Solution: divide out common factors in any numerator and denominator and
then multiply:
1 1
3/16 x 2/9 = 1/24
8 3
EXAMPLE: Multiply the following:
4 x 3/14 x 5/9
Solution: Before multiplying, express the whole number 4 as a fraction
with a denominator of 1. Then proceed in the same way you would for
two fractions by dividing out all common factors that occur in any
numerator and denominator.
4/1 x 3/14 x 5/9 = 10/ 21
Note that in this example a whole number is just a fraction with a
denominator of 1. Therefore, when you multiply a whole number by a
fraction, you can just multiply the numerator by the whole number. For
example,
4 x 3/14 = 4x3/14 = 12/14 = 6/7
To divide fractions, invert the divisor (the fraction after the division
sign), and change the operation to multiplication.
EXAMPLE: Divide the following fractions:

5/12 ÷ 15/16
Solution: Invert the fraction after the division sign, and change to
multiplication. Then divide out common factors and multiply.
1 4
5/12 ÷ 15/16 = 5/12 x 16/15 = 5/12 x 16/15 = 4/9
3 3
Study the next example, which combines multiplication and division of
fractions. Calculate the following.
5/4 x 8/15 ÷ 2
Solution: Invert the 2 to 1/2 and change the division to multiplication. Then
divide out common factors and multiply:
1 2
5/4 x 8/15 x 1/2 = 2/6 = 1/3
1 3
Adding fractions
Adding fractions is not as straightforward as multiplying fractions.
Calculators can add fractions as decimals, and some can add them as
fractions. However, it is necessary for you to understand how to add
fractions so that you can estimate results, recognize an incorrect answer,
and troubleshoot for the error. More important, to add fractions I algebra
requires first understanding the process in arithmetic. Fractions can be
added or subtracted only if their denominators are the same. When the
denominators are the same, you add the fractions by adding the numerators
over the common denominator.
1/8 + 5/8 1 5 / 8 = 6/8 = ¾
Observe that you always reduce the result if possible. The rule for adding
fractions with the same denominator is then
A/D + B/D = A+ B /D
When the denominators of fractions that are to be added are different,
it is first necessary to change the fractions of so the denominators are the
same. A fraction can be changed to an equivalent fraction by dividing out
common factors or by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the
same factor. For example, the following fractions are all equivalent.

3/10 = 6/20 = 9/30 = 30/100 and so forth.
Note that a fraction is a ratio of two whole numbers. The fraction 3/10
is a ratio of 3 parts to 10 parts. The equivalent fraction 6/20, 9/30, etc. are
all equal to the same ratio. The process of adding two fractions whose
denominators are different is done as follows. Suppose you wanted to add
the fractions.
2/3 + 5/6
Since the denominators are not the same, you must first change one
or both, fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. You
look for the lowest common denominator (LCD), which is the smallest
number that contains each denominator as a divisor.
Since 3 divides into 6 exactly, the LCD equals 6. Change the fraction
to an equivalent fraction by multiplying the numerator and denominator by
2.
2(2)/3(2) + 5/6 = 4/6 + 5/6
Note that parentheses are used here instead of an x sign for
multiplication. Parentheses or a dot (.) are used in algebra so as not to
confuse the letter x with multiplication.
Now you can combine the numerators over the LCD and reduce the
result.
4/6 + 5/6 = 4 + 5/6 = 9/6 = 3/2
DECIMALS
Our number system is called the decimal system because it is based on the
number ten. Dec means ten in Latin. For example, in expanded form, the
number 5643 represents
5643 = 5000 + 600 + 40 + 3 = 5(1000) + 6(100) + 4(10) + 3(1)
From right to left, each digit represents a multiple of 1, 10, 100, 1000 and
so forth. When a number is written with a decimal point, such as 56.43, the
decimal digits 4 and 3 represents multiples of fractions whose numerators
are 1 and denominators are 10, 100, 1000, etc. as follows:
56.43 = 5(10) + 6(1) + 4 (1/10) = 3(1/100) = 50 + 6 + 4/10 + 3/100
