∙ 13y agoIt is always a good idea to start measurements at a given mark on the instrument. This is because the ruler or measuring equipment may be damaged at the edges and thus will not give accurate results.

∙ 13y agoYou should always start measuring with the end of the ruler that represents "zero". If
you start at the 8-centimeter mark, then the length you measure will be 8-centimeters
too long, and that will be wrong.
No, you can start measuring an object from any point on the ruler as long as you are consistent throughout the measurement. Just make sure to indicate where you started to ensure accurate results.
You would use meters for measuring length in the metric system, which is the standard unit for length. Inches are used in the imperial system for measuring length.
Width is a length or distance. The unit of length is the meter.
The standard unit for measuring length and distance is the meter (m) in the metric system.
its use for measuring length usually about 1 house length (metric)
No a meterstick is a tool used for measuring..mass, volume, time, length, and temperature are all metric units
It all depends on the objects.
