With a meter stick
A tape measure. A yard.
You would likely use a ruler or a measuring tape.
Meters, centimeters, or millimeters. Take your pick.
A ruler: I have got one right next to me on my desk.
c m/mm
to be honest I would use a metre ruler that really helps a lot place your metre ruler on your desk. put your pencil starting from 0. Then measure it. This is how you would measure it.
cm
I would use a ruler or a tape measure. After I was done, I would express the measurement in centimeters or inches.
Who knows, The Width is is 62.3 cm but they measured the length
Use meter sticks to measure the length, width, and height of a lab table or desk in the classroom.
Because inches and ounces are not part of the metric system. You want to measure volume in milliliters (mL) using a graduated cylinder, and you want to measure length in centimeters (cm) using a meter stick.
The length, width, height, thickness, diagonal, perimeter, are some characteristics.
