Quiz Description

Menstruation is a branch in mathematics which basically talks about the length, volume or the area of different geometric shapes. These shapes can either be in two dimensions (2D) or in three dimensions (3D). 2D shapes do not have depth nor height whereas 3D shapes, also called solid shapes have both height and depth. There are so many terms related to mensuration some of which include;

  • Area
  • Perimeter
  • Volume 
  • Curved surface area
  • Lateral surface area
  • Total surface area

Mensuration can be applied in daily life in so many ways like;

  • Amount of paint required to cover a certain surface area.
  • Fencing needed for the perimeter of a garden.
  • Amount of carpet required for a particular room.
