feet
You would typically measure the distance around a school in meters, as this is a more precise unit of measurement for shorter distances. Kilometers are better suited for measuring longer distances.
The unit used to measure the distance around your school yard is typically referred to as perimeter. Perimeter is the total distance around a two-dimensional shape and is measured in units such as meters, feet, or yards depending on the scale of the measurement. To find the perimeter of a school yard, you would add up the lengths of all the sides of the yard.
Metres.
time taking to walk
it is yards or yd because the school does not stretch a mile
Meters or yards if it's the school library, in the same building or on the same campus as the classroom. Kilometers or miles if it's simply the municipal library, in the same city as the classroom.
Type your answer here...kilometers
If its the distance in a car/bus/walking/ect. then I would go in google maps, then click the get directions. Put in both locations and it will tell you the distance.
You would typically use the metric unit "kilometers" to measure the distance from home to school.
when he/she asks you to show them around the school,building,or something.
Meters (m) for distances, square meters (m2) for the area and cubic meters (m3) for the volume.
(1) One way would be to have a stick, stuck vertically into the ground. Measure the length of the shadow and the length of the stick. The actual height of the stick will be a ratio of the shadow's length. Then measure the length of the school's shadow. The height of the school in comparison with its shadow length will be same ratio as the height of the stick compared to its shadow length. You could use a tape measure for this. And possibly a calculator, which will make the calculation easier than doing it by long arithmetic or mental arithmetic. (2) Another way would be to use something that can tell you, from a short distance away from the school, the angle between the top of the school and the ground. A sextant can do this. It is more accurate than using a protractor. Using trigonometry and the distance from the building to where you are standing, you will be able to calculate the height of the school, because it will be at right angles to the line from you to the school. If you don't know trigonometry, method (1) will be easier.
