Answer 2

Answer:It depends on what u are measuring. If u are trying to measure between 2 points on a piece of paper, multiple methods work well. If u are measuring the distance between 2 planets, only a couple of methods are actually practical. You can do a direct measure by comparing the distance to know speed takes to travel that distance. This can be demonstrated by watching for a lightening flash and counting how long it takes before u hear the tunder. Knowing the speed of light and the speed of sound, u can figure the distance between u and the storm. You can also use other properties of the object.

There are many ways to measure, but none are the best for all situation.
