Step-by-step solution for: Measurement Worksheet Grade 1-04
Here's the correct solution to the measurement worksheet, with explanations for each answer:
---
Q. Tick the correct option.
---
1. The long distance, distance from one city to another is measured in
✔ Kilometer
> *Explanation:* Distances between cities are very large — often tens, hundreds, or even thousands of kilometers. Kilometers are the standard unit for measuring such long distances.
---
2. The short distance, distance from one room to another is measured in
✔ Meters
> *Explanation:* Within a building or house, distances are typically a few meters (e.g., 3–10 meters). Meters are appropriate for these medium-short distances. Centimeters would be too small (you’d have to say “300 cm” instead of “3 m”), and kilometers are far too large.
---
3. The land/ area is measured in
✔ Yards
> *Explanation:* In many countries (especially the U.S.), land area is commonly measured in square yards or acres. While "square meters" is also used internationally, among the given options — centimeter, kilometer, yards — yards is the most appropriate because:
> - Centimeter is too small for land.
> - Kilometer is too large unless it’s a huge region.
> - Yards (specifically square yards) are traditionally used for measuring plots of land, especially in real estate contexts.
*(Note: In metric systems, “square meters” or “hectares” are more common, but since “meters” is listed separately as an option for other questions, and “yards” is the only reasonable unit for land area here, it’s the best choice.)*
---
4. The distance from one point of a rectangle to another is measured in
✔ Meters
> *Explanation:* This refers to the length of a side or diagonal of a rectangle — which could be a room, a table, or a field. Again, meters are the practical unit for such measurements. Centimeters might be used for small rectangles (like a book), but generally, “meters” is the most versatile and likely correct choice here.
---
5. Height of a building is measured in
✔ Meters
> *Explanation:* Buildings are usually several meters tall (e.g., 10 m, 50 m, etc.). Meters are the standard unit for measuring height of structures. Kilometers would be absurd (that’s for mountains or flight altitudes), and centimeters are too small (you’d say “3000 cm” instead of “30 m”).
---
6. The area of a house is measured in
✔ Yards
> *Explanation:* Similar to question #3, the area of a house is commonly measured in square yards or square feet in many countries (especially the U.S.). Among the options:
> - Centimeter² is way too small.
> - Kilometer² is way too big (that’s for cities or regions).
> - So yards (meaning square yards) is the most suitable choice.

| Question | Correct Answer |
|----------|----------------|
| 1 | Kilometer |
| 2 | Meters |
| 3 | Yards |
| 4 | Meters |
| 5 | Meters |
| 6 | Yards |
---
📌 Important Note: If this worksheet is intended for a metric-only curriculum, then “yards” may not be ideal — but since “yards” is offered as an option and “square meters” isn’t listed, we must choose the best available. In reality, area is measured in square units (e.g., square meters, square yards), but the worksheet seems to expect the base unit (meters, yards, etc.) as shorthand.
Let me know if you want the answers adjusted for a strictly metric system!
