What are two instruments that could be used to measure curved lines?
Two instruments that could be used to measure curved lines are a flexible ruler and a caliper. A flexible ruler, also known as a contour gauge, can be molded to the shape of the curved line to measure its length accurately. A caliper, specifically a vernier caliper, can be used to measure the diameter or thickness of a curved object by gently gripping and measuring across the curve.
This type of line makes use of rounded angles.?
A curvy line is that is used for rounded angles. This makes it easier to measure.
What is a tape measure used?
A tape measurer can be used to measure distance in linear or even around curved surfaces. It is an old tool that has a neat history. See the related link for more information.
What does it mean for a straight line such as a radius to be equal in length to a curved line such as an arc of a circle?
Length of any curve is imagined as an infinite sum of the lengths of infinitely small straight sections. If you look at a part of circle under a microscope you cannot tell that it is curved. This idea is used extensively in the branch of mathematics call "integral calculus". On a practical level, you can lay out a circle with a length of wire, then straighten it out to measure its length.

A curvy line is that is used for rounded angles. This makes it easier to measure.
