SOLID MENSURATION

Solid Mensuration deals primarily with the various solids. The formulas developed
are used extensively in railway engineering, in road and bridge construction, in chemical
and physical analyses, and in a large variety of commercial and engineering projects. As
we study Solid Mensuration we shall see how necessary it is to have a thorough knowledge
of the mensuration of solids.

Mensuration of Plane Figures

It is frequently necessary to pass a plane through a solid to form a plane section,


find the area of this section, and multiply it by the length of the line. Thus, it is important
to be thoroughly familiar with the mensuration of the standard plane figures.

2. The section of a certain solid consists of a semicircle, a rectangle and a triangle.


The altitude of the rectangle is three times the radius of the semicircle, the altitude
of the triangle is twice the same radius and the area of the triangle is 20 sq.ft. Find
the area of the section.

3. A city block is in the form of a parallelogram whose shorter diagonal AB is


perpendicular to the side BC. The shorter sides represent streets and the longer
sides represent avenues. If the distance between the avenues is 400 ft. and the
length of each street is 500 ft., find the area of the block.
