A Practical Application of the Principles of Geometry: To the Mensuration of Superficies and Solids; Adapted to the Method of Instruction in Schools and Academies (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Master practical geometry for school use with clear, step‑by‑step rules and worked examples.
This is a comprehensive guide to measuring surfaces and solids, adapted for teaching in schools and academies. The book blends classical principles with applied problems, helping students move from theory to real calculations.
Readers learn to compute areas of plane figures, including parallelograms, triangles, and circles, and to extend these ideas to volumes of common solids. It covers cylinders, cones, spheres, and regular solids, providing rules, examples, and tables that relate simple measurements to real results. The text also includes practical topics such as gauging and calculating the contents of casks, with methods explained in approachable steps suitable for classroom use.
- Foundational techniques for finding areas and volumes using straightforward rules.
- Worked examples on cylinders, cones, spheres, and regular solids, with guidance on units and conversions.
- Practical gauging methods for casks and ullage, including approximate rules for common forms.
- Strategies that connect geometric theory to everyday measurement tasks.
Ideal for students and educators seeking a solid, applied introduction to mensuration in a historical classroom context.
