While measuring length using a ruler, we should take the following precautions –
Care should be taken to keep the ruler along the length of the object.If the edge of the ruler is worn out or broken, the measurement should be started from any other mark that is fully clear.Eyes should be exactly above the point where the measurement is to be taken. If your eyes are at different positions, you might get wrong reading.

1. Care should be taken to keep the ruler along the lenght of the object.
2.If the edge of the ruler is worn out or broken, the measurement should be srarted from any other mark that is fully clear.For eg: If you measure 2cm mark to 7cm mark, the lenght is 5cm (7cm - 2cm = 5cm).
3.Eyes should be exactly obve the point where the measurement is to be taken. If your eyes are at different positions, you might get wrong readings.
