To solve the problem of determining the length of each bar above the ruler, we need to carefully read the metric ruler for each bar. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to do this:

Steps to Read a Metric Ruler:

1. Identify the Starting Point: Note where the left end of the bar aligns with the ruler.
2. Identify the Ending Point: Note where the right end of the bar aligns with the ruler.
3. Calculate the Length: Subtract the starting point from the ending point.

Solution for Each Bar:

#### Bar 1:
- Starting Point: 3 cm
- Ending Point: 8 cm
- Length: \( 8 - 3 = 5 \) cm

#### Bar 2:
- Starting Point: 18 cm
- Ending Point: 24 cm
- Length: \( 24 - 18 = 6 \) cm

#### Bar 3:
- Starting Point: 14 cm
- Ending Point: 20 cm
- Length: \( 20 - 14 = 6 \) cm

#### Bar 4:
- Starting Point: 22 cm
- Ending Point: 29 cm
- Length: \( 29 - 22 = 7 \) cm

#### Bar 5:
- Starting Point: 25 cm
- Ending Point: 32 cm
- Length: \( 32 - 25 = 7 \) cm

#### Bar 6:
- Starting Point: 29 cm
- Ending Point: 36 cm
- Length: \( 36 - 29 = 7 \) cm

#### Bar 7:
- Starting Point: 60 cm
- Ending Point: 67 cm
- Length: \( 67 - 60 = 7 \) cm

#### Bar 8:
- Starting Point: 3 cm
- Ending Point: 8 cm
- Length: \( 8 - 3 = 5 \) cm

#### Bar 9:
- Starting Point: 35 cm
- Ending Point: 42 cm
- Length: \( 42 - 35 = 7 \) cm
