What is Solid Mensuration?

Solid mensuration is another name for solid geometry, which is a field

in mathematics where measurements of three-dimensional shapes are

studied. Length, width and height are the three most important

measurements in solid mensuration. With those three values, many

other values, such as surface area and volume, can be determined.

What is a line?
A line is a single-dimensional or one-dimensional figure, with no thickness,

and extends in both directions infinitely. Usually, it is called a straight line

just to emphasize that there are no curves anywhere in it.

A line segment is a segment of a line, or in other words, we can say that a

line segment is a line with two endpoints.

In the above picture, AB and BC are two lines meeting at point B. The point

B is called the Vertex. The space between the two lines marked as “b” is

called the Angle.

Other Definitions included as part of the lines are listed below for

immediate reference.

Line segment: A part of a line with two endpoints is called a line

segment. Line segment AB is denoted by AB.

Ray: A part of a line with one endpoint is called a ray.
Collinear points and non-collinear points: If three or more than three

points are on the same line, then they are called collinear points,

otherwise, they are non-collinear points.

 Intersecting Lines and Non-intersecting Lines: Lines PQ and RS are

intersecting lines because they are intersecting with each other at O.

Lines AB and CD are non-intersecting (parallel) lines.

Note: The lengths of the common perpendicular at different

points on these parallel lines are the same. This equal length

is called the distance between two parallel lines.

What are Angles?

An angle is a space or the gap formed between two lines that meet at a point

and the meeting point is called the Vertex. The two lines originating from

the same point are called the arms of the angle.

The Angles are classified into different types such as Acute angle, Right

angle, Obtuse angle, Straight angle, Reflex angle, and Full angle. These

angles are explained in the table given below along with images showing

different angles.
Applications of Lines & Angles
Angles are used in daily life. Civil Engineers and Architects use angles for

building infrastructures such as roads, construction work, animations,

bearing tools, crossroads, etc. Angles are also used by carpenters to make

chairs, tables, cots, and sofas. Angles are also used by Artists in, their

creations such as portraits and paintings.

Some examples of Angles in daily life.
