Four careers that use the measurement of length:
Building - you need to measure the house and the walls so that the house will stand up.
Shoe Salesperson - you need to measure the length of a foot accurately so that the shoe fits your foot.
Clothes designer - you need to measure how big the top is so it can fit the person.
Carpet layer - you need to measure the carpet so it can fit in whatever room it’s going into
How to measure the length of an object - You need to get a ruler and measure the length of the object. When you have a ruler you need to put the zero line to the starting point of the object and then with the other end you need to see what number the end of the object is up to on the ruler
