The answer depends on how large the object is and how accurate a measurement is required. They can be:
- an odometer (for hundreds of metres with an accuracy of a meter),
- a tape measure (up to 10 metres, with an accuracy of a few centimetres),
- an optical (laser) range finder (up to 30 metres, accuracy of a centimetre),
- vernier callipers (a few cm to an accuracy of 0.1 mm),
- micrometer (a few cm to an accuracy of 0.01 mm)
- optical, electron, scanning tunnelling and
- atomic force microscopes, that are accurate enough to "measure" individual atoms

Why is perimeter measured in linear units?
Perimeter is measured in Linear Units because it is Measurement of The Outline or Path of a given shape or area; a Perimeter is NOT the Measurement of What is Inside that Outline/Path. It is a One-Dimensional measurement, which MEANS it is a Linear Unit Measurement, such as Feet or Meters.Alternatively, a Two-Dimensional Measurement, is the Square of a Linear Unit -- like AREA is a Two-Dimensional Measurement and therefore Measured in Linear Units Squared (i.e. meters2/Square Meters or feet2/Square Feet). Area is the Measurement of What is Contained within a given Perimeter.
