    This learning brief covers topics in mensuration (measurement) including finding the area of scalene triangles using trigonometry formulas. Students are to practice finding the area, surface area, and volume of prisms, pyramids, and other shapes using relevant formulas. They are also to review trigonometry, Pythagoras' theorem, and other geometry topics. The goals are to apply measurement techniques and trigonometry fundamentals to practical situations. Students are assigned reading, examples, and exercises to complete involving area of triangles, measurement review, and preparing for an upcoming exam through allowable notes.
