Mensuration vs. Geometry — What's the Difference?

The act, process, or art of measuring.

Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metron "measurement") is, with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. It is concerned with properties of space that are related with distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.

Measurement of geometric quantities.

The mathematics of the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.

The act or process of measuring; measurement.

A system of geometry

(mathematics) The study of measurement, especially the derivation and use of algebraic formulae to measure the areas, volumes and different parameters of geometric figures.

A geometry restricted to a class of problems or objects

(music) A 13th century system for governing rhythmic relationships in music that was a precursor to the modern use of time signatures; The use of mensural notation.

A book on geometry.

(forestry) The use of quantitative measurements of forest stand to determine stand timber volume, productivity, and health.

Configuration; arrangement.

The act, process, or art, of measuring.

A surface shape.

That branch of applied geometry which gives rules for finding the length of lines, the areas of surfaces, or the volumes of solids, from certain simple data of lines and angles.

A physical arrangement suggesting geometric forms or lines.

The act or process of measuring;

The branch of mathematics dealing with spatial relationships.

A mathematical system that deals with spatial relationships and that is built on a particular set of axioms; a subbranch of geometry which deals with such a system or systems.

(countable) The observed or specified spatial attributes of an object, etc.

A mathematical object comprising representations of a space and of its spatial relationships.

That branch of mathematics which investigates the relations, properties, and measurement of solids, surfaces, lines, and angles; the science which treats of the properties and relations of magnitudes; the science of the relations of space.

A treatise on this science.

The pure mathematics of points and lines and curves and surfaces
