Full disclosure: I work for a pipe and drape company.
Measuring for pipe and drape is easy. All you need to know is the height, linear width, and amount of fullness needed.
There's a greater explanation on drapekings.com, but in quick summary:
Say you have a 10 foot by 10 foot room and you want to drape all four walls.
The height: 10 feet
The linear width: 10 feet x 4 walls = 40 feet
Your dimensions would be 10' by 40'.
Fullness is a longer explanation. Just go to the site and read the explanation there.

What is the dimensions of a 12' cone?
12' To answer this properly more information is needed about the cone. 12' is just one measure, a cone is a 3 dimensional figure.
Can you use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance properly?
An elastic tape measure is a poor idea. Different amounts of pull will make the tape stretch different amounts, causing the same items to appear being of different sizes.
What is the disadvantages of a try square?
One disadvantage of a try square is that it can be limited in terms of the angles it can measure accurately, typically only being able to measure 90-degree angles. Another disadvantage is that try squares can be prone to becoming inaccurate over time if not properly maintained or if they are dropped or mishandled. Additionally, try squares may not be as versatile as combination squares or adjustable bevels, which can measure a wider range of angles.
