Mensuration is a branch of mathematics which is a topic in Geometry. It is a study of various geometrical shapes, their length, breadth, volume, and area for 2D as well as 3D shapes. Mensuration is the skill of measuring the length of lines, locations of surfaces, and volumes of solids from simple data of lines and angles. It is generally used where geometrical figures are concerned, where one has to determine various physical quantities such as perimeter, area, volume or length.
