MATH 122 CE/EE – SOLID MENSURATION

Summer SY 2013

Course Title : SOLID MENSURATION

Course Description : Concept of lines and planes; Cavalieri’s and Volume theorems; formulas for areas of plane figures, volume for
solids; volumes and surfaces areas of spheres, pyramids, and cones; zone, sector and segment of a sphere;
theorems of Pappus.

Course Pre-requisite(s) : College Algebra, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry

Time Allotment : 2 lecture hours

General Objectives : After completing this course, the student must be able to:
1. Compute for the area of plane figures;
2. Compute for the surface areas and volumes of different types of solids; and
3. Determine the volumes and surface areas of solids using other methods such as the theorems of Pappus.
