Since most tape measures only measure one unit system (U.S. customary or metric), you\u2019ll need to find one that uses the unit system you need. Since these tools can bend, they\u2019re good to use when measuring the total length of an object that exists in more than one dimension (e.g., waist measurements, the circumference of a wooden block, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tape-measure.png\" alt=\"Tape Measure\" class=\"wp-image-40946\" title=\"Tape Measure\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tape-measure.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/tape-measure-300x161.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-3-meter-sticks\">3.
