PERFORM MENSURATION AND


CALCULATION
DEFINITION OF
TERMS
 Area – extent of part of a surface enclosed within a
boundary
 Calculation – the act or process of or result of
calculating
 Circumference – distance around the circle
 Classification – group or category within an
organized system
 Decimal – number expressed in a counting system
that uses units of 10, especially a decimal fraction
 Dimension – measurable extent such as length,
thickness And width
 Fraction – number expressed as a quotient of two other
numbers
 Geometric Shapes – characterized by straight line,
regular curves and angles
 Graduation – scale of a measuring tool
 Mensuration – act or art of measuring
 Perimeter – bounding line or curve of a plain area
 Standard – serves as a measure of reference
 Stock – refers to a lumber for a certain furniture job
 Substrate – wood to be cut in a cutting machine

TYPES OF
MEASURING
TOOLS
 1. Pull-push rule – used for measuring long pieces of stock.
 2. Zig-Zag Rule – a folded measuring tool.
 3. Ruler – used for measuring short pieces of stock.
 4. Caliper – used for measuring diameter
 5. Try Square – used for checking flatness and squareness.
 6. Meter Stick – a measuring device which is one (1) meter in
length.
 7. Divider – used for dividing distances.
 8. Compass – used for scribing arcs and circles.
 9. Protractor – used for laying out angles.
HANDLING OF
MEASURING INSTRUMENT
AND TOOLS
HANDLING OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS / TOOLS
A. DO’S
1. Wipe measuring tools/instruments before
returning them to the storage room.
2. Oil the movable parts of the measuring tools such
as zigzag rules, calipers, dividers and compasses to
avoid stock-up.
3. Make sure that grits like sand do not get inside
the housing or case of a pull-push rule to avoid
wearing off of the graduations.
4. Check the lock of a pull-push rule if it is working.
HANDLING OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS / TOOLS
B. DON’TS
1. Do not wipe off edges of the steel tape of pull-
push rule with bare hands to avoid injury.
2. Do not pull the steel tape of pull-push rule too
much to avoid the coil spring from damage.
3. Do not use the caliper as tongs.
Hence; the linear measurements
obtained are:
1. End 1 to End 2 or AB
= Length (L )

2. Edge 1 to Edge 2 or CD
= Width ( W )

3. Surface 1 to Surface 2 or EF =
Height (H) /Thickness (T)
SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT
I. (UNIT OF MEASURES) - LINEAR MEASUREMENT
ENGLISH METRIC
Yard ( yd ) meter
Foot ( ft ) / („ ) decimeter 1/10 meter
Inch (in. ) / (“ ) centimeter 1/ 100 meter
millimeter 1 /1000 meter
II. READING MEASUREMENTS
A. Reading the inch – the inch is divided into segments
called graduations. Each graduation represents a
measurement in form of a proper fraction. The inch can be
divided into 16, 8, 4 and 2, equal parts.
II. READING MEASUREMENTS
B. Reading the centimeter and millimeter
III. CONVERTING FRACTION TO DECIMAL
In converting fractions o decimals, divided the numerator
by its denominator whether it is proper, improper or mixed
fraction.

Sample Solutions:
A. Proper fraction 2/5 = 0.4
Sample Solutions:
B. Improper fraction 11/3 = 3.66
Sample Solutions:
C. Mixed fraction 2 1/2 = 2.5
IV. CONVERTING UNITS OF MEASURE
GUIDE TABLE IN UNIT CONVERSION
English to English 1 foot = 12 inches
Metric to Metric 1 meter = 10 decimeter (dm)
1 dm = 10 centimeter (cm)
English to Metric 1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 inch = 25.4 mm
1 foot = 30.48 cm
Metric to English 1 meter = 3.28 feet
1 meter = 39.37 inches
