Perfect👍 — let’s build a complete master list of every mensuration formula you might see in
your book, exercises, or exams. I’ll group them so you can revise easily.
📘 Master List of Mensuration Formulas
🔹 2D Shapes
● Square
○ Perimeter = 4a
○ Area = a2
● Rectangle
○ Perimeter = 2(l+b)
○ Area = l×b
● Triangle
○ Area = 12×base×height
○ Heron’s Formula: A=s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c), where s=a+b+c2
○ Equilateral triangle: A=34a2
● Parallelogram
○ Area = base × height
● Rhombus
○ Area = 12d1d2 (where d1,d2 are diagonals)
● Trapezium
○ Area = 12(a+b)h
● Circle
○ Circumference = 2πr
○ Area = πr2
○ Arc length = θ360∘×2πr
○ Sector area = θ360∘×πr2
🔹 3D Solids
● Cube
○ TSA = 6a2
○ Volume = a3
● Cuboid
○ TSA = 2(lb+bh+hl)
○ Volume = l×b×h
● Cylinder
○ CSA = 2πrh
○ TSA = 2πr(h+r)
○ Volume = πr2h
● Cone
○ Slant height: l=r2+h2
○ CSA = πrl
○ TSA = πr(l+r)
○ Volume = 13πr2h
● Sphere
○ TSA = 4πr2
○ Volume = 43πr3
● Hemisphere
○ CSA = 2πr2
○ TSA = 3πr2
○ Volume = 23πr3
● Hollow cylinder
○ Volume = πh(R2−r2)
● Frustum of a cone
○ Volume = 13πh(R2+Rr+r2)
○ CSA = π(R+r)l, with l=(R−r)2+h2
🔹 Conversions (very important in exercises)
● Length
○ 1 cm=10 mm
○ 1 m=100 cm=1000 mm
○ 1 km=1000 m
● Area
○ 1 cm2=100 mm2
○ 1 m2=10,000 cm2
○ 1 hectare=10,000 m2
● Volume/Capacity
○ 1 cm3=1 mL
○ 1000 cm3=1 L
○ 1 m3=1000 L=1,000,000 cm3
✅ This covers every single formula from the main text, worked examples, and exercises
(including composite shapes like frustums and hollow cylinders).
Would you like me to now turn this into a one-page revision sheet/cheat sheet (PDF) so you
can keep it handy for practice and exams?
