Class 8 Mensuration MCQs
In Mensuration we deal with the measurement of perimeter, i.e. the total boundary length, area (amount of region covered), volume (space occupied), etc. of some geometrical figures like square, rectangle, cube, cuboid, cone, sphere, etc.
In this class 8 Mensuration MCQs post, we have provided you some 100+ multiple-choice questions for pracetice. We hope these Class 8 Mensuration MCQs will help you fetch good marks in your CBSE, AMU, Jamia, Sainik School, Army School, Navodaya exams.
Class 8 Mensuration Formula
Rectangle | Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth) Area = length × breadth diagonal = √(length² + breadth²) |
Square | Perimeter = 4 × side Area = (side)² |
Triangle | Perimeter = sum of all sides Area = 1/2 × base × corresponding height |
Trapezium | Perimeter = sum of the lengths of all sides Area = ½ × (sum of parallel sides) × Altitide |
Here are some multiple-choice questions (MCQs) for CBSE Standard 8 from the chapter Mensuration.
