Everything around us can be measured. Look around you. Think, can that be measured? Can that? I'm pretty sure that everything around you can be measured. Sometimes we don't know what measuring unit to use and how we measure it.
Mostly, when we measure, we use a ruler, but in some instances we can use a tape measure (as the one showed on the right). It is easy to use as it is small and very portable, much easier than carrying a ruler around. A tape measure can expand to very extreme lengths in such a small and portable object.
It is used to measure things that a small ruler can not measure and is very handy if building.
We don't just have to use a ruler or tape measure to measure things. Think. You cannot use both of those measuring devices to measure a circle. A protractor is also a measuring device, It is used to measure circles.
