Publisher's Synopsis
Elementary Solid Geometry And Mensuration is a book written by Henry Dallas Thompson and published in 1896. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of solid geometry and mensuration, covering topics such as the properties of solids, the measurement of their dimensions, and the calculation of their volumes and surface areas. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of solid geometry and mensuration. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of solid geometry, including the definitions of points, lines, angles, and planes. The second chapter covers the properties of prisms and pyramids, while the third chapter discusses the properties of cylinders and cones. The fourth chapter of the book is dedicated to the measurement of solid figures, including the calculation of their volumes and surface areas. The fifth chapter covers the properties of spheres and the calculation of their volumes and surface areas. The final chapter of the book provides a summary of the principles covered in the previous chapters and includes a variety of practice problems for students to solve.Overall, Elementary Solid Geometry And Mensuration is a valuable resource for students and teachers of solid geometry and mensuration, providing a clear and concise explanation of the principles and techniques used in these fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
