Body parts. This is where the old English measurements - feet, rule of thumb, and so on, come from. The top joint of the thumb, incidentally, is usually (in an adult) around 25mm or 1 inch.

the ancient Greeks measured sculptures by saying that the length from your nose to your middle finger is a yard
Common methods for measuring crank length in cycling include using a ruler or tape measure to measure the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the pedal axle, or using a specialized tool called a crank arm length measurement tool. These methods help cyclists determine the optimal crank length for their riding style and biomechanics.
The ancient Egyptian measure of length, based on the length of the forearm, was not standardised. It was around 0.52-0.53 metres.
they used there feet and other parts of their body
None. A centimetre is a measure of distance or length while a metre2 is a measure of area. The two measure different things and, according to the principles of elementary dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
NONE!!!! Because 'kilometres' is a metric measure of length. 'Acres' is an Imperial measure of area. You cannot directly compare length with area. However, a length multiplied to a perpendicular length will give an area.
-- Measure the length of the piece. -- Using a pencil, write the measurement on paper. -- Using skills taught in elementary school, divide the measurement by 2 . (Alternatively, multiply the measurement by 0.5 .) -- Using the result of your calculation, measure that length from either end of the piece.
There cannot be one. Feet and inches are a measure of distance or length while square footage is a measure of area. The two measure different things and, according to elementary principles of dimensional analysis conversion from one to the other is not valid.
Using a graduated ruler, a surveyors wheel or trundle wheel, or by using an optical (Tachymeter) or laser range finder are methods that may be used to find length or distance.
ruler, yardstick, or meterstickA ruler or measuring tape ... mind you you can use anything as a tool to measure .... so long as you know the length of the tool you are using ...
Yes it is used to measure length.
