Use a string: put your finger where the string is at the edge of the object, then use a ruler to measure the tip of the string to your finger. Or use a protractor: each degree equals 1/16 of an inch.
The answer depends on what characteristic the tool is used to measure.

You can use multiple measuring tools to measure different sections of the object and then add those measurements together to get the total length. Another option is to estimate the additional length by visualizing the extension of the object beyond the measuring tool and then adding that estimate to the measured length.
You could use a ruler or a measuring tape to measure the length of an object. Both tools have markings that allow you to accurately determine the distance from one point to another.
If you want to measure the length, use a ruler.
A vernier caliper is used to measure length, not mass. It is a precision measuring tool commonly used in engineering, metalworking, and other fields to accurately determine the dimensions of an object with high precision.

Make sure you have an accurate measuring instrument - ruler or tape.Make sure that you start with the zero point on the measuring tool exactly in line with the start of the object whose length you wish to measure. Ensure that you do this when viewing the two at right angles rather than from one side or another. Make sure that the measuring tool does not slip when you move tp the other end of the length. Again, make sure that you view the object and measuring tool dead on and read the measurement which lines up with the object.
To find the volume of an object, you typically need to measure the object's dimensions, such as length, width, and height. You then use these measurements to calculate the volume using the appropriate formula based on the shape of the object (e.g., for a rectangular object, volume = length x width x height). A measuring tool, such as a ruler or tape measure, may also be needed.

a ruler is something that measures the length of an object
You can measure the length of an object using a ruler, tape measure, or measuring tape. Simply place the measuring tool next to the object and align one end with the starting point of the object, then read the measurement at the end of the object. Make sure to use the appropriate units, such as inches or centimeters.
