 Lesson
Perform Mensuration and
1 Calculations

Measuring accurately is skill that should be developed by everyone.

Inaccurate measurements would mean waste of time, effort, materials, and the
quality of the finish product. The skill in measuring starts with the ability to read
and interpret the systems of measurement.
In this module, you will learn on how to measure objects and perform
calculations.

What’s In

In the previous module, you have learned the different tools used in
measuring as well as on how to use them when measuring objects. Each
measuring tools has its own uses. And these tools must also be taken care
properly.

Measurement has a vital role in our daily living. And so, we need to
know how to measure accurately and know how to do calculations base
from the data being gathered.

Note to the Teacher.

The activities in this module involve measurement of actual
objects and lengths found in their home but you may
modify the activity and include objects and distances
outside the house. You may also create your own rubrics to
assess their performance.

What is It

Measurement Systems

The basic measurement in the English system is the Yard divided into Feet
and Inches abbreviated as follows: Yard – Yd. , Feet – Ft. , and Inches as In. The
Metric System or the Systems International (SI) use Meter as the basic unit of
measure divided into Decimeters, Centimeters, and Millimeters with the following
abbreviations when used.

Meter _ m Centimeter _ cm
Decimeter _ dm Millimeter _ mm

The measuring tool available in the workshop contains English System in

one side and Metric System on the other. In the English System, the inch is divided
into 16 graduations. The first graduation reads 1/16, the second 2/16 or 1/8, the
third as 3/16 and so on.

Metric to English Equivalents

Metric System English System

1 Meter 39.3701 Inches / 3.28084 Feet
0.3048 Meter/ 30.48 Centimeter 1 Foot
1 Centimeter 0 .393701 Inch

4
 1 Millimeter 0.0393701 Inch
25.4 Millimeters 1 Inch
1 Kilometer 1093.61 Yards

English to Metric Equivalents

English System Metric System

1 Inch 2.54 Centimeters
.5 Foot 150 Millimeters / 15 Centimeters
1 Foot 30.48 Centimeters
1 Yard 91.5 Centimeters

Converting from one unit to another might be tricky at first, so an organized way of
doing it would be a good starting point. For example:
1 m / 39.3701 inches = 1
1 m / 3.28084 feet = 1
These conversion factors may be used to convert from one unit to another. Just
remember that you are converting from one unit to another so cancelling same
units would guide you in how to use your conversion factors. For example:

1. Convert 12 meters to feet:

3.28 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡
12 meters x = 12 x 3.28084 feet = 39.3701 feet or 39.37 ft.
1 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟

2. Convert 2 meters into inches:

39.3701 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠
2 meters x = 2 x 39.3701 inches = 78.7402 inches or 78.74 in.
1 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟

Another example:

1 foot = 0.3048 meters

1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 inch = 25.4 mm

1. Convert 82 feet to meters:

0.3048 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠
82 feet x = 82 x 0.3048 meters = 24.9936 meters or 25 m
1 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡

2. Convert 50 inches to centimeters:

2.54 𝑐𝑚
50 inches x = 50 x 2.54 cm = 127 cm
1 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ

3. Convert 15 inches to millimeters:

25.4 𝑚𝑚
15 inches x = 15 x 25.4 mm = 381 mm
1 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ

Basic Ratio and Proportion

The ratio of two numbers is a comparison of two quantities. It is expressed as

the indicated quotient of two numbers called TERMS of the ratio. The ratio of C to
D maybe expressed as C : D, read as C is to D, C/D or C ÷ D. The numbers 4/6, 6 :
9, 8 : 12 or 14 : 21 have the same value as the ratio is 2 : 3.

When the ratios are between measurements, the term of the ratio must be
expressed in the same units. The three angles of a triangle are usually expressed as
1: 2: 3, read as 1 is to 2 is to 3. If the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees,
the measurement of each angle can be determined using the following procedure.

Examples:

I. Find the measurement of each angle of a triangle, if the ratio of the angles of a
triangle is 1: 2: 3 and the sum of the is 180 degrees.

Solution:
Let X = measurement of the first angle
2X = measurement of the second angle
3X = measurement of the third angle
X + 2X + 3X = 180 degrees – sum of the 3 angles of a triangle
6X = 180 degrees - sum of X‟s
X = 30 degrees - measurement of the first angle
2X = 2 (30) = 60 degrees – measurement of the second angle
3X = 3 (30) = 90 degrees – measurement of the third angle

II. Find the ratio of 4 hours to 2 days.

= 4 hours to 2 days
= 4 hours to 48 hours
= 1:12 (dividing 4 and 48 by 4)

III. Find the ratio of 15 centimeters to 2.5 meters.

= 15 centimeters to 250 centimeters
= 3:50 (dividing 15 and 250 by 5) 15 ÷ 5 = 3 and 250 ÷ 5 = 50

IV. Pedro has a box containing 5 ballpens,3 erasers, 2 pencils and 1 stapler. What
is the ratio of pencils to erasers?

The answer can be expressed as fraction, with the numerator equal to the first
quantity and the denominator equal to the second, the answer could be 2/3 or
writing it 2 is to 3 or 2 : 3. What about the ratio of ball pens to all the contents of
Pedro’s box?

There were 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11 total contents of box, so the answer could be

expressed as 5/11, 5 is to 11 or 5 : 11.

Proportion Is the equality of two (2) ratios.

6
The Principle of Proportion:
The product of the Means is equal to the product of the Extremes.
Illustrative Example:

TERMS

1st 2nd 3rd 4th

1 3 = 4 12

Means

Extremes

The second and third terms are the means, while the first and the fourth
terms are the extremes of the Proportion. The product of 2nd and 3rd terms = 12
(3 x 4 = 12) The product of the 1st and 4th terms = 12(1 x 12 = 12) Thus, the
product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.

Examples:
Solutions
A) 2 : 4 = 5 : X = 2x = 20 (2 x X) = 2X & 4 x 5 = 20
= x = 10

4 2
B. : =4:X=2:8
𝑥 8
= 2X = 32
2𝑥 32
= =
2 2
x= 16
Proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. It is a statement that two
ratios are equal.

Example: 3/8 = 6/16

When one of the four numbers in a proportion is unknown, cross product

maybe used to find the unknown number. Question marks or letter x and n are
frequently used in place of the un-known number.
Example:
Solve for n:
½=n/4 Using cross product, we multiply 2 x n

= 4, so 2 x n = 4
= 2n =4 (4 ÷ 2 = 2)
n=2

7
Computing for Area and Volume

Area is the number of unit squares equal to the surface of an object. For
example, a standard size of a piece of plywood contains 32 square foot (sq. ft.).
Because it measures 4 feet by 8 feet so, 4 x 8 = 32 square feet.
Area is expressed in square inches, square feet and other units of measure. A
square inch measure 1” x 1” or each equivalent. A square foot contains 144 square
inches by multiplying 12” x 12” = 144 sq. inches. The area of any plane figure can
be determined by applying the proper formula.

CIRCLE
When the diameter of a circle is known, the circumference is found by using the
following formula.
C= d where: C= Circumference
= 3.1416
d = diameter
Example:
1. What is the circumference of a 20” diameter circle?

Solution: C= D
C = 3.1415 x 20
C = 62.832 inches

Finding the circumference of circle (Diameter)

When the diameter is known, the circumference of a circle is found by
applying the following formula.

C=2 r where: C = Circumference

2 = Constant
= 3.1416
r = radius
Example:
2. What is the circumference of a 10” radius circle?

Solution: C=2 r

C = 2 x 3.1416 x 10
C = 62.832 Inches

Finding the area of a circle (Diameter)

When the diameter of a circle is known, area of a circle is found by applying the
following formula.
𝑑²
A= or
4
A = 0.7854 x d² where A = Area
0.7854 = Constant
d² = Diameter Squared

8
Example:
1. What is the area of a 28” diameter circle?
Solution:
A = 0.7854 x d²
A = 0.7854 x (28 x 28)
A = 0.7854 x 784
A = 615.75 Square Inches

Finding the area of a circle (Radius)

When the radius is known, the area of a circle is found by applying the following
formula.
A = r²
where A = Area
=3.141
r²= radius squared

Example:
4. What is the area of a 14” radius circle?

Solution: A = π r²
A = 3.1416 x (14 x 14)
A = 3.1416 x 196
A = 615.754 sq. inches

Finding the area of square or a rectangle

The area of square or a rectangle can be found by applying this formula.
A=LxW
where A = Area
L = Length
W = Width
Example:
5. What is the area of a 22‟ x 16‟ storage room?

Solution: A=LxW
A = 22 x 16
A = 352 sq. ft.

Finding Area of a Triangle

The area of a triangle can be found by using this formula.

A=½bh
Where A = Area
½ = Constant
b = base
h = height
Example:
6. What is the area of a triangle with a 10” base and 12” height?

9
Solution: A=½bh
A = ½ x (10 x 12)
A = ½ x 120
A = 60 sq. inches

VOLUME

Is the three- dimensional size of an object measured in cubic units. For

example, the volume of a standard size of concrete block is 1,024 cubic inches,
because 8 x 8 x 16 is equals to 1,024 cu. In.

Volume is expressed in cubic inches, cubic feet, cubic yards and other units
of measure. A cubic inch measures 1” x 1” x 1” or its equivalent. A cubic foot
contains 1,728 cubic inches because 12” x 12” x 12” = 1,728 cu. In. A cubic Yard
contains 27 cu. Ft. because 3‟ x 3‟ x 3‟ = 27 cu. Ft. The Volume of a solid figure
can be determined by applying the proper formula.

Finding the volume of a rectangular solid

The volume of a rectangular solid can be found by applying the following
formula.
V=LxWxH
where
V = Volume
L = Length
W = Width
H = Height Example:

7. What is the volume of a 24” x 12” x 8” rectangular solid?

Solution: V=LxWxH
V = 24 x 12 x 8
V = 2,304 cu. Inches

Finding the volume of a cylinder

When the diameter of a cylinder is known, the volume can be found by applying the
following formula.
V = 0.7854 x d² x h
where
V = Volume
0.7854 = Constant
d² = Diameter squared
h = Height
Example:
What is the volume of a tank that is 4ft. in diameter and 12 feet in length?

Solution: V = .7854 x D² x h
V = .7854 x (4 x 4) x 12
V = .7854 x 16 x 12
V = 150.79 cubic feet (cu.ft.)
