Mensuration Guide for Class 8

The document discusses important formulas for mensuration. It defines key terms like perimeter, area, surface area, and volume. It provides formulas to calculate the perimeter and area of basic shapes like rectangles, squares, triangles, parallelograms, circles, trapezoids, and rhombus. Formulas are also given for the surface area and volume of cubes, cuboids, cylinders, and other 3D shapes. The surface area of a solid is the sum of the areas of its faces, while volume represents the space occupied and is measured in cubic units.

Important Formulas

Chapter 11 - Mensuration

S.no Term Description

1 Mensuration It is branch of mathematics which is concerned


about the measurement of length, area and
Volume of plane and Solid figure

2 Perimeter a) The perimeter of plane figure is defined as the


length of the boundary
b) It units is same as that of length i.e. m, cm, km

3 Area a) The area of the plane figure is the surface


enclosed by its boundary
b) It unit is square of length unit. i.e. m2 , km2

Shapes where Area and Perimeter are known

Shapes Perimeter Area

Rectangle P= 2(L+B) A=L×B

L and B are Length and


Breadth of the rectangle

Square P=4a A=a2

a is the side of the square

Triangle P=Sum of sides A=(1/2)×(Base)×(Height/Altitude)


Parallelogram P=2(Sum of Adjacent A=(Base) ×(Height)
sides)

Circle P=2πr A=πr2

r is the radius of the circle

Trapezium P= Sum of length of all the A=(1/2)h( a+b)


sides
Half the product of the sum of

the lengths of parallel sides and


the perpendicular distance
between them gives the area of
trapezium

General Quadrilaterals P= Sum of length of all the A=(1/2)d(h1+ h2)


sides

Rhombus P=4a A= (1/2)×d1×d2

Where d1 and d2 are the


diagonals of the Rhombus.
Important Terms to remember in case of Solid Figures

Surface Area Surface area of a solid is the sum of the areas of its faces

Lateral The faces excluding the top and bottom) make the lateral surface area of the solid
Surface Area

Volume Amount of space occupied by a three dimensional object (Solid figure) is called its
volume.

we use square units to find the area of a two dimensional region. In case of volume we
will use cubic units to find the volume of a solid, as cube is the most convenient solid
shape (just as square is the most convenient shape to measure area of a region)

Volume is sometimes refer as capacity also

Surface Area and Volume of Cube and Cuboid

Cube Cuboid

Type Measurement

Surface Area of Cuboid of Length L, 2(LB + BH + LH).


Breadth B and Height H

Lateral surface area of the cuboids 2( L + B ) H

Diagonal of the cuboids /01  21  3 1

Volume of a cuboids LBH

Length of all 12 edges of the cuboids 4 (L+B+H).

Surface Area of Cube of side L 6L2

Lateral surface area of the cube 4L2


Diagonal of the cube 0√3

Volume of a cube L3

Surface Area and Volume of Right circular cylinder

Radius The radius (r) of the circular base is called the radius of the
cylinder

Height The length of the axis of the cylinder is called the height (h) of the
cylinder

Lateral The curved surface joining the two base of a right circular cylinder is
Surface called Lateral Surface.

Type Measurement

Curved or lateral Surface Area of 2πrh


cylinder

Total surface area of cylinder 2πr (h+r)

Volume of Cylinder π r2h
