Depends on the context. You could use a ruler, a tape measure, vernier calipers, a trundle wheel, or a laser ranging device.
A ruler is an example of an instrument that is used to measure the length of smaller objects (usually around a foot or smaller).
The SI standard unit for measuring length is the meter (m).
The standard unit for measuring length and distance is the meter (m) in the metric system.
There is no such measurement. There is either metric measurement or not. Do you mean "fractions" of inches?
which is a better estimate for length of a pencil
-- Length is measured by rulers; they are often wood. -- Volume is measured by measuring cups; they are usually glass. -- Mass is most often measured by a laboratory balance; they are metal.

For measuring the length of a laboratory table, it is better to use a meter stick. Meter sticks are commonly used for linear measurements and are more appropriate for measuring larger objects like tables. Vernier calipers are typically used for smaller, more precise measurements of objects with intricate details.
The most common length is the meter (m), which is often used as the standard for calculations. As always, the centimeter (cm) is 1/100 of a meter, while a kilometer (km) is 1000 meters.
its definitely not a clock...or a sundial...its a metronome!
yd is the standard abbreviation for a yard, which is a length unit measuring 3 feet or 36 inches. ■
