Definition of Measurement

When we measure an object, we find a number that tells us something about the size or quantity of the object present.

Such a number is called a measurement.

We usually give measurements in terms of some standard units such as metres, kilograms or litres.

The picture shows a tape measure, which is an instrument used to measure the lengths of things.
