You tape the broken pieces of the ruler back together.
use your ruler to measure the sides
A broken ruler still has lines of measurement on it - it's just not as convenient as it was when it was whole. You measure the same way, by holding the ruler next to the item you're measuring and deciding which line it reaches to. With a broken ruler, you will probably have to measure one part at a time and add the measurements together.
why might you need to measure a perimeter with a measuring tape insteadof a ruler.
You have to measure with a ruler and find the perimeter, area, and circumference of anything your measureing.
take a ruler and measure it
You tape the broken pieces of the ruler back together.
use your ruler to measure the sides
yes you can. but not with a ruler you will need a measuring tape.
you will need a ruler or tape measure
Wrap the strip of paper around the plate or can and mark it where it completes a full circle around the object. Then lay the strip on a flat surface and measure the marked length using the ruler. That length is the perimeter (circumference) of the round object.

Because of the sides.It won't be right then.
you can solve it by just looking at it really good. another way is to measure it with a ruler..........
Yes because they can be measured mathematically. But free form shapes can't for instance you can't measure a pare using i ruler. But you can measure a square with a ruler.
