Any meausrement is comparison with a fixed standard.This is the meaning of measurement we know today and this has been the same from very beginning. Though they had no technology then but they must would have followed their own standards.For example For length Handspan. Length of this table is five hands>>>>>>> similarly for mass They must would have used something with which they used to compare anything they carried or "lifted"

How many square meters are there in a year?

It doesn't make sense to convert that. In general, you can only convert between units that measure the same type of thing: you can convert length to length, time to time, mass to mass, etc.


How are the three fundamental quantities measured?

The three fundamental quantities are length, mass, and time. Length is typically measured using a ruler or tape measure, mass is measured using a scale, and time is measured using a clock or stopwatch. Each of these quantities has specific units of measurement such as meters for length, kilograms for mass, and seconds for time.

Does length and mass affect speed and distance?

I cannot say about "lenght", but distance is a measure of length so length affects distance. Speed is the rate of change of distance (over time) so length affects speed. Mass does not significantly affect speed or distance but, because they are affected by acceleration and acceleration is affected by mass (for a given force), then mass affects them. Also, mass affects space time and the presence or absence of mass changes the lines along which distances are measured and so distances and speed are affected.
