i have many mental inadequacies does inserting 1 metre rulers into a bodily orifice sideways, one of them?

do you have that on video? i just cant believe it!

I don't know if it is a few inches, probably not that much, maybe a few centimeters, but yes, this is true. Humans, or any creature for that matter, are rarely symetrical and our entire bodies are off by a hair. It is very rare to have any part of your body match up exactly with the other side (eyes, arms, fingers, toes, etc).

for measuring the length of things though each gives you a different unit.

It can't be done with an unmarked straightedge and a compass, but it can be done with a *marked* straightedge and a compass. The latter was doen by Archimedes about 200BC.

got a dandy.....even though  it  seems  difficult   youll  break through  and  find  out  you can  almost  measure  anything....try  this  because  i dont  know  what  type  of  equipment  you have....in  search  bar  go.....vernier  read .. hit search..the  NTNU site java  is  excellentyou you can  even  practice  measuring  on  line.....reading  a  vernier  is  good too.....check  them  all

1 centimeter = 0.1 decimeters

Trick question? 1 square meter. Right?

No, you cannot move or bend a spoon with your mind. Instead you need to realise the truth: \n\nTHERE IS NO SPOON

OOOOO i learned this in my human sexuality class.... you insert fingers(object) 1/3 of the entrance and go up ... and you should have WONDERS!!!!!!!!

You got it backwards - inches and feet, and quarts and gallons and etc, etc, are practically ancient units that someday, I hope, the metric system will replace entirely.  I don't know why there is so much resistance to this here in the US, but the attempt has been going on for decades.  I'm sick of having to have 2 sets of every type of wrench and socket, and always having to guess which one goes to some particular fastener on my car, which contains some metric, some SAE.

Dude, no offence but hmm what? not to sound like an a-hole but maybe you should think about getting a hobby. That isn't maths...just a thought....

I think the general idea is to report as much information as possible from each measuring device. Otherwise you are just throwing away information. So for the ones that read out some digital display, you would simply report all the digits that it reads out. The other ones, where you have some choice in the matter, you would read to the nearest marking, plus estimate one more digit. \n\nAs an example, take the ruler marked with 1 mm markings:\n\ncase A. Widget length lines up exactly 10 mm \ncase B. Widget length is halfway between the 10 mm mark and the 11 mm mark. \n\nYou could actually measure a difference between A and B, so the number you report should reflect that difference. So case A would be reported as 10.0 mm, where as B would be reported as 10.5 mm. If you report both as just 10 mm (because that is how the ruler is marked) you would be missing the fact that you can measure a difference between the two. But generally, you can't estimate anymore that one place past how the ruler is marked, so you wouldn't try to report 10.55 mm, for example.

I do not agree.\n\nDripping into WHAT? I seriously believe you need  an anatomy class, and perhaps a tutorial on gravity and fluid mechanics.\n\nTo say nothing of some class.\n\nSheesh, wankers. <shaking head>

you shud use it on ur left side so that u can lean on it wen u walk. the same exact thing happened to my history teacher.

Depends on how far away the wall is, don't you think, and the limits on your methods of measuring "half way"?  Eventually the difference between the distance from the center of the room to the wall and the sum of your moves will be less than your ability to measure.  That's the role of the little epsilon in the theory of limits.  Let the distance, center to wall, be D.  Then\n\nD - [(1/2)D+(1/4)D+...+(1/2^n)D]=(1/2^n)D\n\nWhen you cannot measure (1/2^n)D, you're there, for all practical purposes.\n\nTell a mathematician and an engineer they can approach the naked girl tied to the tree in this fashion [sorry, ladies, but in ancient times engineers were all male].  The mathematician will throw up his hands {so were mathematicians, with a few notable exceptions), saying, "I'll never get there."  The engineer will grin and say, "I'll get close enough."

Yes.\n\n"The metre or meter (symbol: m) is the SI base unit of length."\n\n"Metre" is just the European way of spelling "meter."

How about you just jam your thumb up your bum hole instead.\n\nDo your own homework!
