Why are units of measurement useful?
Units of measurement provide a standard to measure mass, length etc.So, it is useful.
Is the meter centimeter or millimeter the more useful for measuring the length and width of the classroom?
meter
What is the smallest measurement?
Hmm, it's not a yoctometer, it's actually a planck length, that's apparently the size of quantam foam. However, calling the planck length a 'measurement' is a little misleading since we have no means whatever of actually measuring things that small and we may never have. It is useful currently only in theoretical work. See the discussion and modify your question if necessary.
Why does standard measurement useful?
because it is.
When the British system of units was first developed what was the most common object used as a basis for measuring length?
the standard unit is meter, but centimeter, millimeter or kilometer are also useful.
What units measurement would be a most useful for measuring the volume of a sliced bread?
The best units would be millimetres for the length measurements and millilitres for the volume.

It is by the meter

Why do you call a measuring stick a ruler?
They are in fact two different devices that are commonly mistaken. A "measuring stick" is a stick of a given length that is used to reference another object from it's total length. These usually have no markings as such, or any calibrated length. A "ruler" (aka straightedge) IS calibrated and has measurement markings. It is used to "rule" straight lines to an exacting measurement. Originally designed for the engineering industry, they have been useful in countless other areas throught history.

What is the function of tape measure?
Tape measures are useful for measuring distances that are too large to measure with your ruler.
Would measuring stars be useful for scientific notation?
You have it in reverse. Scientific notation is useful for measuring stars.
Would you use square units for a swimming pool?
No. I would use linear units if measuring the swim distance or cubic units if measuring the volume of water. Square units might be useful to see how many people could use the pool before it got crowded but that would depend on whether they were there for swimming or splashing about.
Why is the Breslow system of measuring the thickness of malignant melanoma the preferred method?
It turns out that the Breslow measurement is more reproducible and thus more useful; therefore, for purposes here, depth of penetration by absolute measurement (Breslow) is used in local staging.
What do you use to measure small amounts?
small measurements That depends on what you are measuring. For mass, you may want to use an analytical balance. For volume, a buret or Eppendorf pipette would be useful. Like I said before, it is highly dependent on what your measuring and what the point of the measurement is.
What are ducks feet and falcons feet useful for?
they are useful for swimming
