To find the length of each line, we look at where the blue bar starts and where it ends on the ruler. Then we subtract the starting number from the ending number.
1. First Line:
* Starts at: 50
* Ends at: 52
* Calculation: $52 - 50 = 2$
* Length:
2 inches
2. Second Line:
* Starts at: 25
* Ends at: 27
* Calculation: $27 - 25 = 2$
* Length:
2 inches
3. Third Line:
* Starts at: 49
* Ends at: 51
* Calculation: $51 - 49 = 2$
* Length:
2 inches
4. Fourth Line:
* Starts at: 42
* Ends at: 45
* Calculation: $45 - 42 = 3$
* Length:
3 inches
5. Fifth Line:
* Starts at: 44
* Ends at: 47
* Calculation: $47 - 44 = 3$
* Length:
3 inches
6. Sixth Line:
* Starts at: 56
* Ends at: 59
* Calculation: $59 - 56 = 3$
* Length:
3 inches
7. Seventh Line:
* Starts at: 42
* Ends at: 43
* Calculation: $43 - 42 = 1$
* Length:
1 inch
8. Eighth Line:
* Starts at: 56
* Ends at: 58
* Calculation: $58 - 56 = 2$
* Length:
2 inches
9. Ninth Line:
* Starts at: 33
* Ends at: 35
* Calculation: $35 - 33 = 2$
* Length:
2 inches
Final Answer:
The lengths for the lines from top to bottom are:
1. 2 inches
2. 2 inches
3. 2 inches
4. 3 inches
5. 3 inches
6. 3 inches
7. 1 inch
8. 2 inches
9. 2 inches
