2. Scale ruler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_ruler

   A scale ruler is a tool for measuring lengths and transferring measurements at a fixed ratio of length; two common examples are an architect's scale and engineer's scale.In scientific and engineering terminology, a device to measure linear distance and create proportional linear measurements is called a scale.

3. Ruler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruler

   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.

4. Ruler function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruler_function

   In advanced mathematics, the 0-based ruler function is the 2-adic valuation of the number, [1] and the lexicographically earliest infinite square-free word over the natural numbers. [2] It also gives the position of the bit that changes at each step of the Gray code .

5. Graduation (scale) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduation_(scale)

   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.

6. Angle trisection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_trisection

   Define p(t) to be the polynomial p(t) = 8t 3 − 6t − 1. Since x = cos 20° is a root of p(t), the minimal polynomial for cos 20° is a factor of p(t). Because p(t) has degree 3, if it is reducible over by Q then it has a rational root. By the rational root theorem, this root must be ±1, ± ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, ± ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ or ± ⁠ 1 / 8 ...

7. Metre-stick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre-stick

   In the United States, the marking is usually in customary units (three feet 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 inches with inch and fractional inch). Hybrid measures bearing customary markings on one side and metric units on the other also exist and are sometimes referred to as yardsticks, metre-whesticks [citation needed] or "metre rulers". The spelling meter vs ...
