Mensuration Formulas
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics which deals with the study of Geometric shapes, their area, volume and related parameters.
Some important mensuration formulas are:
1. Area of rectangle (A) = length(l) × Breath(b)
2. Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2 × (Length(l) + Breath(b))
3. Area of a square (A) = Length (l) × Length (l)
4. Perimeter of a square (P) = 4 × Length (l)
5. Area of a parallelogram(A) = Length(l) × Height(h)
6. Perimeter of a parallelogram (P) = 2 × (length(l) + Breadth(b))
7. Area of a triangle (A) = (Base(b) × Height(b)) / 2
And for a triangle with sides measuring “a” , “b” and “c” , Perimeter = a+b+c
and s = semi perimeter = perimeter / 2 = (a+b+c)/2
And also: Area of triangle = 
This formulas is also knows as “Heron’s formula”.
8. Area of triangle(A) = 
Where A, B and C are the vertex and angle A , B , C are respective
angles of triangles and a , b , c are the respective opposite sides of
the angles as shown in figure below:

30. Surface area of polygonal prism = (Perimeter of base × height ) + (Area of polygonal base × 2)
31. Lateral surface area of prism = Perimeter of base × height
32. Volume of Triangular prism = Area of the triangular base × height
