mensuration

English

Noun

mensuration (uncountable)

1. The branch of mathematics that deals with measurement, especially the derivation and use of algebraic formulae to measure the areas, volumes and different parameters of geometric figures.
   • 1992, Rudolf M. Schuster, The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America: East of the Hundredth Meridian, volume V, page ix

     With the passage of time I have realized that the illustrations can also serve, to some extent, to make mensuration more readily possible.
