Intro To Plane and Solid Mensuration

This document provides an overview of a Plane and Solid Mensuration course. Mensuration involves measuring geometric figures and their properties like length, volume, and area. It is important for fields like construction, architecture, and engineering. The course will cover calculating the perimeter, area, surface area and volume of basic plane and solid shapes. Students will learn to apply mensuration concepts in their specific fields. The class will be online with lectures, assignments, quizzes and a project. Grades will be based on attendance, assignments, quizzes, and a project. Class rules include being on time, keeping video on, muting except when speaking, and avoiding distractions.

Mensuration, what is this
about?
Mensuration
– is a topic in Geometry which is a branch of mathematics. It is the
measurement of geometric figures and their parameters
like length, volume, shape, surface area, lateral surface
area, etc.
› Geometric figures
– A geometric figure is any combination of points, lines, or planes.
– These are often classified as space figure, plane figure, lines, line
segments, rays, and points depending on the dimensions of the
figure.
Why is it important?
Mensuration in daily routine
› Man-made things that can be perceived through the
senses make use of geometry, thus use mensuration as
well.
› The clothes you wear, the mug you used to drink hot
choco/milk/tea/coffee in breakfast, the yummy pancit
canton you eat for snacks, the computer you use for online
class, etc.
Mensuration in construction industry
› Architecture
– Architects use mensuration to create the design of the building: its
shape, height, structure, basically the construction blueprint.
› Civil engineering
– Mensuration is used in the process of creating structural design
appropriate and safe for the architectural design of the project.
– Greatly used in estimating quantities, costs and time scales for
material and labor
› Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing
– Make use of mensuration to create MEP design appropriate and
safe for the project.
Other technical applications
› In surveying, mapping, and navigation.
› In software industries, it is used in graphics designing,
gaming, animations, etc.
What to expect?
Expect
› that the concepts of mensuration are explained and all
the important mensuration formulas provided, and
› that the properties of different geometric shapes and the
corresponding figures are given for a better understanding
of these concepts.
What are the target
learning outcomes?
At the end of the course, you will be able:
› to compute the perimeter and area of basic plane figures;
› to calculate the surface area and volume of basic solid
figures; and
› to utilize concepts of mensuration in actual application to
your specific field.
