In America yes, they are. I'm not sure about other countries, except that the UK doesn't sell butter by the stick. I think a stick is 100g of butter in America.
1. Ruler (length, height, width) 2. Meter Stick (length, height, width) 3. Protractor (angle)

You can measure anything you like with a metre stick. Maybe the length or width of a box are the two examples the question seeks?
It's more precise.
Measure it with a meter stick. Multiply the length times the width to find the area. Two times the length plus two times the width is the perimeter.
Length, Multiplied by Width. L x W Measure using a meter stick, yard stick, ect...
perimeter = length + length + width + width = 2*length + 2*width = 36 length = 5*width 2*(5*width) + 2*width = 36 12*width = 36 width = 3 length = 15
Area = length x width Length = area/width

Length and width
Length / Width
If Length * Width = Area, then Area ÷ width = Length
