The answer depends on what kind of wave it is: a mechanical wave, or an electromagnetic wave with a long or short wavelength.

How is a wave measured?
by wavelength (distance from the very top of one wave to the top of the wave behind it)
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
What is the wavelength of the wave?
The distance from one peak to the next peak
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
What is the minimum distance between any two corresponding points on a wave that are in the same stage of the cycle?
The wavelength (denoted by Greek letter Lambda) is the minimum distance between any two corresponding points on a wave that are in the same stage of the cycle. This distance is usually measured from peak to peak (crest to crest or trough to trough). Wavelength is a distance and is usually measured in meters.

What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
Is the heat of a wave measured from the top of one crest to the top of another?
No, the heat of a wave is measured by using, for example, a thermometer to gauge temperature. The distance from crest to crest is wavelength.
The distance between two successive peaks on a wave is its?
The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.
How many meters in a wavelength?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance from the crest to the next crest of a wave, usually measured in metres. A wavelength is not a unit.
What is the wavelength of the wave?
The distance from one peak to the next peak
How is amplitude of a longitududinal wave measured?
The distance from the top of the crest of the wave to the central point of the wave (the line that cuts through it). In other words, the furthest it travels from the middle.
What the amplitude in a water wave is?
The height of the wave measured from the place of zero disturbance - in other words, half the vertical distance between crest and trough.
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
What is the minimum distance between any two corresponding point on a wave that are in the same stage of the cycle?
The wavelength (denoted by Greek letter Lambda) is the minimum distance between any two corresponding points on a wave that are in the same stage of the cycle. This distance is usually measured from peak to peak (crest to crest or trough to trough). Wavelength is a distance and is usually measured in meters.
