A variety of rulers A carpenter's rule Retractable flexible rule or tape measure A closeup of a steel ruler A ruler in combination with a letter scale. A ruler, sometimes called a rule, scale or a line gauge or metre/meter stick, is an instrument used to make length measurements, whereby a length is read from a series of markings called "rules" along an edge of the device.

Genaille–Lucas rulers (also known as Genaille's rods) are an arithmetic tool invented by Henri Genaille, a French railway engineer, in 1891. The device is a variant of Napier's bones . By representing the carry graphically, the user can read off the results of simple multiplication problems directly, with no intermediate mental calculations .
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{The 100,000 Challenge | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{The 100,000 Challenge | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
English: a ruler from 0 to 1 inch (in.) in 1/32 inch divisions below the line and 1/2 millimetre (mm) divisions above the line to give a visual representation of the approximations. Principally designed to help visually determine if a metric or imperial drill bit will suffice.
Using a markable ruler, regular polygons with solid constructions, like the heptagon, are constructible; and John H. Conway and Richard K. Guy give constructions for several of them. [ 20 ] The neusis construction is more powerful than a conic drawing tool, as one can construct complex numbers that do not have solid constructions.
A ruler with two linear scales: the metric and imperial.It includes shorter minor graduations and longer major graduations. A graduation is a marking used to indicate points on a visual scale, which can be present on a container, a measuring device, or the axes of a line plot, usually one of many along a line or curve, each in the form of short line segments perpendicular to the line or curve.
