 What’s New

Mensuration as defined in dictionary.com is the act or process of measuring

the length, area, or volume. Calculation, on the other hand, as defined in Wikipedia,
is a deliberate process that transforms one or more inputs into one or more results
and it is a prerequisite to computation.

Mensuration and calculation is essential in cooking and baking for it involves

measuring the quantities according to their volume stated in the recipe book. Tools
like measuring spoons and jugs are used to determine the volume. In baking,
choosing appropriate mould with a specific width and length while understanding
the area of the cake and checking out the weight of the dry ingredients before adding
them to avoid miscalculation.
