A ruler: I have got one right next to me on my desk.
Typically, one would use a tape measure or ruler and find the dimensions of the object. The dimensions are reported in length x width x height.
the perimeter is the distance around an object you add up the sides unless it is an odd shape than you could use a string and then measure that
The easiest way is to use Archimedes principle ! Immerse the object in a container of water that is full to the brim - then collect the displaced over-spill, and measure it.
A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.
Two methods: 1. mark a point on the circumference of the round object; put a mark on the floor; line up the marks and roll the object along the floor until the mark retouches the floor; use the meter rule to find the distance between the marks on the floor. 2. measure the diameter of the round object using the meter rule and multiply it by π (pi ≈ 3.14159)
if your question is explain how to use a ruler to measure to the nearest inch the answer would be...you have to see what inch is the object your measuring to closest to
Use a graduated cylinder to precisely measure volume
When the object is larger than the ruler.
Typically, one would use a tape measure or ruler and find the dimensions of the object. The dimensions are reported in length x width x height.

A scale.
To measure a foot length you could use a ruler, a yard stick, a tape measure, or any object that you knew was precisely one foot long on a side or edge.
Use a ruler.
Use trignometry
If you want to measure the length, use a ruler.
