To solve this problem, we need to look at each tool and decide what it measures. The goal is to find only the tools that measure
length (how long, wide, or tall something is).
Let's check each item:
1.
Meter Stick: This is a long stick used to measure distance or height. It measures length.
2.
Measuring Glass: This is used to hold liquids and see how much there is. It measures volume (liquid amount), not length.
3.
Ruler: This is used to draw straight lines and measure how long things are. It measures length.
4.
Metal Tape Measure: This is a flexible tape used to measure distances, like the size of a room or a piece of wood. It measures length.
5.
Scale: This is used to weigh objects to see how heavy they are. It measures weight/mass, not length.
6.
Thermometer: This is used to check how hot or cold something is. It measures temperature, not length.
7.
Clock: This tells us what time it is. It measures time, not length.
8.
Plastic Tape Measure: Just like the metal one, this flexible tape is used to measure sizes and distances. It measures length.
So, the tools that measure length are the Meter Stick, Ruler, Metal Tape Measure, and Plastic Tape Measure.
Final Answer:
The tools used to measure length are:
-
Meter Stick
-
Ruler
-
Metal Tape Measure
-
Plastic Tape Measure
