a given shape.

Perimeter (P) It is simply the boundary m or cm


length of an area.

Volume (V) The space occupied by a cm3 or m3

Mensuration Formulas for 2D Shapes

The major 2D figures are square, triangle, rectangle, circle, rhombus and
parallelograms. Let us now have a look at the mensuration formulas of all the important
2D geometrical figures:
