Presenting ingenious and practical alternatives for measuring that go beyond traditional methods and measuring tape.
By exploring these creative techniques, you not only engage in a fun and exciting learning experience but also develop a deeper understanding of the world around you. These unconventional measurement approaches offer flexibility and resourcefulness, making them valuable skills for various situations where a meter may not be readily available.
– Start by measuring the length of your finger using a meter and memorize it or save it somewhere for later use when you don’t have a measuring tool to reach. Keep in mind that this can vary from one person to another.
– To measure an object, all you need to do is to place your finger’s tip on the object and start measuring as many times as needed.
– Once done, all you need to do is to multiply your finger’s length by the number of times you placed your finger on the object.
– Knowing that the palm of your hand measures around 7.5 cm, you can measure it and save the measurement for later use, just as we saw with the finger method.
– All you need to do is to put your palm on the object you want to measure, then multiply the number of times you had to place your palm on the object by the measurement of your palm.
– The whole hand represents the palm with the tip of the thumb bent, this makes up around 10 cm.
– Simply place your hand on the object as many times as needed, then do the same multiplication method.
– This is the distance measured from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your little finger while your hand is open.
– The span usually makes around 20 cm, you can use it to measure the dimensions of objects at home when you don’t have a measuring tape at hand.
– Determine the length of your elbow starting from the elbow tip to the middle finger, usually, it is 47 cm for men and 43 cm for women.
– To measure an object using your elbow, hold your elbow against the end of the object, making sure to extend your arm along the length and tip of your middle finger aligned with the other end of the object.
– For larger objects, use your elbow as many times as needed.
– You can use your step to measure distances and large objects.
– You should know that a normal step is around 65 cm, while a long step reaches 100 cm, which is 1 meter.
– All you need to do is to walk the distance you need to measure and count the steps.
– With leg measurement, you have a flexible and practical tool for estimating distances on the fly. While it may not provide precise measurements like a meter, it serves as a reliable and resourceful method for everyday tasks and outdoor adventures.
