Mensuration Formulas

Mensuration is the branch of mathematics which deals with the

study of Geometric shapes, theirarea, volume and related parameters.
Some important mensuration formulas are:

1. Area of rectangle (A) = length(l) × Breath(b)

A= l x b

2. Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2 × (Length(l) + Breath(b))

P= 2x (l + b)

3. Area of a square (A) = Length (l) × Length (l)

A= l x l

4. Perimeter of a square (P) = 4 × Length (l)

P= 4 x l

5. Area of a parallelogram(A) = Length(l) × Height(h)

A= l x h

6. Perimeter of a parallelogram (P) = 2 × (length(l) + Breadth(b)

P= 2x (l + b)

7. Area of a Triangle (A) = (Base(b) x Height(b)) / 2

A= ½ x b x h

8. Area of Isosceles Triangle = b/4 √ 4 a2 − b2

9. Area of Trapezium (A) =1/2 (a+b) x h

10. Area of Rhombus (A) = Product of Diagonals / 2
