Explanation
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics concerned with measuring lengths, areas and volumes, making measurement its direct synonym. The student studied it carefully as a mathematical discipline. Questions, conclusions and lessons are generic academic distractors with no connection to measuring. The geometric-measurement sense is the defining core of mensuration. Measurement is therefore the exact equivalent.
