 What I Need to Know

This module is designed to familiarize students with mensuration and

calculation. A description of shape is valueless without proper and complete
indication of size. The shop worker preferably the draftsman must know the
exact width, height and depth of a work piece, as well as the diameter and
precise location of holes. Accuracy of measurements depends on one's ability
to use measuring tools correctly.

Upon the completion of this module, you are expected to:

1. perform calculation needed to complete task by applying trade

mathematics/mensuration;

2. employ different techniques in checking for accuracy of the computation.

What I Know

Let us determine how much you already know about carrying out mensuration
and calculation. Write the correct answer in your TLE-Technical Drafting
notebook.

Direction: Give what is being asked by the statements below. Write the
correct answer in your TLE-Technical Drafting notebook.

1-2. The 2 systems of measurement.

3-5. Give at least 3 units of linear measurements in the English system.
6-9. Give at least 4 units of linear measurements in the Metric system.

Lesson Perform Mensuration and

5 Calculation
LO 2 - Carry Out Mensuration and Calculation.

This lesson is design to familiarize students, on how to use the

proper and accurate way in indicating size, dimension or a measurement of
the given objects, using the two common systems of measurement (Metric
and English system).

What’s In

One way to practice the use of drawing instruments and drawing

geometric figures technically is to solve geometrical problems graphically. In
fact, a concerned draftsman always applies the four (4) basic operations of
mathematics, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Last lesson you’ve learned the different measuring tools/instruments

and their proper application. This time you are going to develop/enhance your
skills and ability to read measurements.

What’s New

The word measurement comes from the Greek word "metron,"

meaning limited proportion. The metre (U.S.: meter) was standardized as the
unit for length after the French Revolution, and it has been adopted
throughout the world. Metric scale is applied when the meter is used for linear
measurement. Accurate measurement is essential in many fields, and since

2
all measurements are necessarily approximations, a great deal of effort must
be taken to make measurements accurate as possible.

Measuring accurately is a skill that should be developed. Inaccurate

measurement would mean waste of time, effort and materials. The
development of the skill in measuring starts with the ability to read
measurements.

What is It

Two Systems of Measurement

There are two systems of measurement: the English system which
originated in England also known as the U.S. customary system of
measurement and the Metric system or Systems International (S.I) which
originated in France.

(UNIT OF MEASURES) – LINEAR MEASUREMENT

ENGLISH METRIC

Yard ( yd ) Meter ( m )

Foot ( ft ) / ( “ ) Decimeter ( dm )

Inch ( in. ) / ( ‘ ) Centimeter ( cm )

Millimeter ( mm )

In the English system , the inch is divided into 16 graduations and the
smallest graduation is read as 1/16.

1 1 1 3
3/16 7/16 11/16 15/16 16 16
1/16 5/16 9/16 13/16

1 3 5 7
8 1 8 8 8 11
3
8 11
1 3
4 4 4
0 2 1 INCH
 To read measurement exceeding 1 inch say 2” and for smaller
graduations, it is read and written as: 2 4/16 or 2 ¼.

1 Foot + 2 inches + 3 smaller graduations, it is read and written as: 14 3/16

In the S.I measurement, the centimeter is divided into 10 millimeters as

shown below:

mm mm mm
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 30

0 1cm 2cm 3cm

What’s More

CONVERTING UNITS OF MEASURE

We often come across situations where we need to bring a uniformity

in the units, this is when converting between units comes into play. Learning
metric units have a whole lot of advantages, it's simple as its units scale to the
power of 10.

GUIDE TABLE IN CONVERSION

English to English 1 foot = 12 inches

Metric to Metric 1 meter = 100 centimeter

1 meter = 10 decimeter

4
 1 dm = 10 centimeter
1 cm = 10 millimeter

English to Metric 1 inch = 2.54 cm

1 inch = 25.4 mm
1 foot = 30.48 cm

Metric to English 1 meter = 3.28 feet

1 meter = 39.37 inches

Sample Solutions in Conversion

A. Foot to inches
3 ft = _________ inches
Solution: Multiply 3 ft by 12 inches / feet = 36 inches
B. Inch to feet
48 inches = _________ feet
Solution: Divide 48 inches by 12 inches / feet = 4 feet

C. Centimeter to millimeter
22 cm = _________ millimeters
Solution: Multiply 22 cm by 10 mm / cm = 220mm

D. Inch to centimeter
6 inches = _________ centimeter
Solution: Multiply 6 inches by 2.54 cm / inch = 15.24 cm

Percentage, Fraction and Decimal

How To Compute Percentage

The simplest way to compute percentage is to divide the given amount

by the total and then multiply the answer by 100.

The equation can be put up as follows:

5
(Given amount /Total amount) x100

For example, if John scores 60 out of 75 in Drafting Technology, we

can find the percentage of his marks by dividing 60 by 75 the answer is 0.8,
then multiplying it by 100 the percentage of his marks is 80%.

Example: (60/75) x 100= 80%

Rounding Off Decimals

Metric measurements in decimals are often long numbers. They must

often be rounded to a convenient number of digits. In this text most metric
dimensions are either whole millimeter or two-places decimals that have been
rounded off. To help you round off your own calculation, rules of rounding are
discussed below.

1. If the first number to be eliminated is less than 5, simply drop it (and the
number to the right of it) and let the last significant digit stand.

Example:

Round off 25.4 mm to whole millimeter.

Solution: Simply drop the .4

Answer: 25

Example :

Round off 0.3125 (5/16) into two significant digits.

Solution: The first number to be eliminated is 2: Simply drop it and all

numbers to its right(5)

Answer: 0.31

2. If the number to be eliminated is 5 or more, drop the number, then add one
to the last digit retained.

Example:

a. Round off 78.6 into its nearest ones.

6
 Solution:

The number to be rounded off is 6 which is greater than

5, drop 6 and add one to the last digit retained.

Answer: 79

b. Round off 92.65 into its nearest tenths.

Solution:

The number to be rounded off is 5, drop 5 and add one to

6 which is the last digit retained.

Answer: 92.7
