We are curious about how tall a building is; we want to know how much a packet of sugar weighs or our body temperature. Ever wondered how you can get the answer to these questions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">To find the answers to these questions, we often use tools that help us gauge them. When we measure things, we obtain the result as a numeric value with certain units. We have different units to measure each of these quantities: length, mass, capacity (volume), and temperature. A yard is one such unit to measure length, which is commonly used in the United States.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/measuring-using-yardstick.png\" alt=\"Measuring using yardstick\" class=\"wp-image-40045\" title=\"Measuring using yardstick\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/measuring-using-yardstick.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/measuring-using-yardstick-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"0-us-customary-system-of-measurement-\">US Customary System of Measurement&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">A system of measurement is a collection of units of measurement and rules relating them to each other.
