a measurement is something that takes the height or weidht of something!!!
Measurement of the volume of solids depends on its density and mass.
Every wall needs two measurements ... the length of the wall and the height of the wall.In a typical room, the walls all have the same height, but their lengths may be different.The area of each wall is (length) multiplied by (height).After you "do" the area of each individual wall, you can add up the four numbers.The sum tells you how much paint or wall-paper you'll need to cover the walls.
Depending on what you were measuring and the experiment you were conducting a scientist could use a variety of different instruments, including; - Thermometer - Temperature - Measuring Cylinder - for measuring the amount of a Liquid - Scales - For measuring the mass of a solid - Measuring Pipette - amount of a liquid - Burette - amount of a Liquid during titration - Infra Red Spectroscopy - Molecular mass of a Molecule - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) - structure, dynamics, reaction state and chemical environment of molecules There are more but these are just a few examples.
