How do you measure the length of a country in a map does the ruler have to be straight when finding the length?

Yes, the ruler does need to be straight when finding or measuring the length of a country on a map. If the distance curved, you can use a string and the ruler to measure the length.

Finding the length and width of a rectangle given the perimeter?
P = 2L + 2W P = 2(L + W) P/2 = L + W If the perimeter is given and you know one of the side measure length (i.e mL), then you can find the measure length of the other sides. If you know the measure length of L, then the measure length of W is P/2 - L = W,and vice versa.

How do you measure the perimeter of a semicircular table?
use a ruler!!!!how do you use a ruler with a semicircle EDIT: Assuming you can measure the length of the straight side.. to find the perimeter - treat it as a whole circle, and find the circumference through multiplying the diameter (straight edge) by Pi. Then - divide that figure by 2, and add on the length of the straight side ! Snakester1962 (Supervisor)

How is a ruler different from a straightedge?
The straightedge can only be used to draw a straight line, or check to see if a surface is flat, but cannot measure length. A ruler can be used to draw a straight line or check for flatness, and a ruler can also measure length because it has evenly spaced markes denoting inches and centimeters.
