A meter rule, also known as a meter stick, is a measuring instrument commonly used in physics and engineering to measure length or distance. It is typically marked in centimeters or millimeters and is used to make accurate measurements in various experiments and calculations. The meter rule is essential for tasks such as determining the dimensions of objects, conducting experiments that require precise measurements, and ensuring accuracy in scientific research.
A meter rule.
Measurement of length.
The smallest division on a meter rule, also known as a meter stick, is typically 1 millimeter (mm). This means that each small line or marking on the meter rule represents a distance of 1 mm. The meter rule is divided into centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm), with each centimeter divided into 10 millimeters. The smallest division of 1 mm allows for precise measurements to be taken using the meter rule.
0.5mm
If the calibration starts from the edge of the stick then it is a meter rule Basically "0" starting from the edge And if it is a meter ruler ,there is like half inch of empty space before 0
0.5
1 place the scale in contact with the object along its length starting from 0. if the zero mark is not clear use any other full mark of the scale. 2 your eye must be exactly in front of the point where the measurement is to be taken.
Balancing the meter rule on the wedge edge-wise ensures that the weight of the meter rule is evenly distributed on both sides, leading to a stable and accurate reading. Placing it edgewise helps minimize the effect of friction and other external forces that may affect the balance of the rule.
Measuring anything up to a metre (meter in USA); drawing straight lines. Rule is the "proper" word for what most of us call a ruler.
Two methods: 1. mark a point on the circumference of the round object; put a mark on the floor; line up the marks and roll the object along the floor until the mark retouches the floor; use the meter rule to find the distance between the marks on the floor. 2. measure the diameter of the round object using the meter rule and multiply it by π (pi ≈ 3.14159)

I would use a measuring tape because it is easier to wrap it around a baby's head.
