A plotting compas (like a pair of compasses used to draw a circle, except both ends have needles) A Metric/Imperial rule also helps but if the map has a scale at the bottom, one is not essential.
We measure distance on a map by consulting the scale on the map. It is a small diagram in the legend that sets down some linear measure as a reference. The line will be marked out in, say, miles, tens or even hundreds of miles or kilometers.
the scale
you measure it with a SCALE
I'm pretty sure it's called a scale, but I could be wrong.
For a "distance" between two points, the ordinary tools are the ruler, tape measure, pedometer, and odometer. For longer distances on Earth, laser rangefinders or satellite measurements would be used. For planetary and stellar distances, astronomical observations can be used to create an estimate, by parallax and by stellar spectroscopy.
A scale is used on a map to measure direction.

What is the unit of measurement used to measure the distance traveled by the car?
Miles
With what instrument do they measure a car or and elephant?
For weight - scales, for length or height, tape measures.
How could you measure distance traveled by a car?
The vehicles odometer records the mileage for you.
What is 1 pedometer?
The pedometer is a device that measures the distance you walk, just as a odometer indicates the distance of a car. It is not a unit of measure.
What is a car's average speed in kilometers per hour if a 90-kilometer trip takes three hours?
Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the time taken.Average speed = total distance traveled/time taken = 90 km/3 h = 30kph
What is the instrument used to measure distance in a car?
The instrument used to measure the total distance that a car has traveled is called an odometer.
Which is the instrument that measures distance moved by car or lorry?
The odometer.
Does odometer in a car measure the average speed?
No, the odometer measures the distance traveled by a vehicle. The speedometer measures the speed at any given moment in time, but not the average speed.
What instrument tells how far you have traveled?
Odometer -in a car.
Which unit would a scientist use for measuring the distance traveled by a car?
Scientists use Kilometers to measure distance traveled by a car
The distance traveled by a car depends on the velocity of the car?
Distance(velocity), or D(v)
What instrument measures the length of a car?
A tape measure.
What measures odometer in the car?
The odometer measures the distance the car has travelled.
What instrument measures velocity?
In a car, a speedometer. At a weather station, an anemometer measures wind speed.
What is the equipment called to measure distance traveled in a car?
odometer
When a car travels from point A to point B the speed of the car varies along the way what is the total distance traveled by the car divided by the total time traveled by the car?
Speed
What is the unit of measurement used to measure the distance traveled by the car?
Miles
