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.
