What is It
Measuring tools are used for the purpose of measuring dimensions, implementing
any work with accuracy and precision. The measuring tools are also use largely for
carrying out different types of measurements.
Measuring tools are vital in producing quality output. It is essential also in examining
a finished product or a semi-finished product. The examination or inspection
operations include checking, or testing an object based on the required dimensions
given on a diagram or a sketch. The measurement should be taken accurately and
precisely.
1. Compass- this tool is used for scribing or drawing arcs, circles, parts
of many symbols and radii.
11
3. Protractor- it is used for laying out angles and measuring and setting of
angle other than those obtainable with the triangles.
5. Tape measure- it used to measure length. They are used to measure many of
the distances that are too long for a ruler to measure easily and they are
flexible, not rigid.
7. Triangles- are used for drawing vertical and oblique lines. The most used
triangles are the 450 and 300 x 600. The illustration below shows the proper use
of drawing lines and measuring angles using the T-square and triangle.
12
5. Triangular scale- it is used in general drawing. Its main purpose is to reproduce
the dimension in full size or to reduce or enlarge them on a drawing. Scales help
a drafter keep the proportion accurate.
7. Yard stick/ meter stick – it measures one yard/meter and shows only metric
units of measurement of feet, inches, centimeters,
and millimeters. It used to measure objects that are
larger than a piece of paper.
Geometric shapes
1. Circle- is a shape that can be made by tracing curve that is always the same
distance from a point that we call the center.
2. Triangle- is a shape that is formed by three straight lines that are called sides.
13
3. Rectangle- is a shape that has four sides. The distinguishing characteristic of a
rectangle is that all four angles measure 90 degrees.
4. Rhombus- is a shape formed by four straight lines. Its sides measure the same
length but unlike the rectangle, any of all angles measure 90 degrees.
Straight edge rules- are used specifically to draw or scribe straight lines or for
checking the straightness of a surface. Examples are straight hard paper, book
edges, Identification Card edges, etc..
String- the first straight lines for construction and other purposes which was used
during Medieval. They put dye and stretch tight over a wooden beam to mark straight
lines
TRADE MATHEMATICS/MEASUREMENT
The word measurement comes from the Greek word "metron," which means limited
proportion. The metre (U.S.: meter) was standardized as the unit for length after the
French Revolution, and it has been adopted throughout the world. Metric scale is
applied when the meter is used for linear measurement. Accurate measurement is
essential in many fields, and since all measurements are necessarily approximations,
a great deal of effort must be taken to make measurements as accurate as possible.
14
Measuring accurately is a skill that should be developed. Inaccurate measurement
would mean waste of time, effort, and materials. The development of the skill in
measuring starts with the ability to read measurements improving one’s numeracy
skills that can be used in the trades, thus the term – trade mathematics.
The basic unit in the S.I. measurement is called the meter. The meter is divided into
100 centimeters. Each centimeter is divided into 10 millimeters. They are
abbreviated as follows:
Millimeters mm
Centimeters cm
Decimeters dm
Meters m
In the English system, the inch is divided into 16 graduation lines and the smallest
graduation is read 1/16
1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 1 3
1 1
16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 1 1
1 3 5 7 1

8 8 8 8 8

1 INCH
To read measurement exceeding 1 inch, say 2 inches (2”) and for smaller
4 1
graduations, it is read and written as: 2 16 or 24 in.
3
1 Foot + 2 inches + 3 smaller graduations, it is read and written as: 14 16 in.
In the S.I measurement, the meter is divided into 10 millimeters. as shown below:
15
UNIT OF CONVERSION
System International (SI) to English
1 meter = 39.37 inches
= 3.28083 feet
= 1.094 yards
0. 3048 meter = 1 Foot
1 centimeter = 0.3937 inch
2.54 Centimeters = 1 inch
1 millimeter = 0.03937 inch
25.4 millimeter = 1 inch
1 Kilometer = 1093.61 yards
A simple guide is adopted so that anybody could easily determine the equivalent
values of the English to metric system or vice versa.
Example:
1. To convert meter to foot, divide the length by .30
say 6.0m ÷ .30 = 20ft
2. To convert foot to meter, multiply by .30 say 30ft x .30 =9.0 meters
Inch Meter
1.0 .25
2.0 .050m
3.0 .075m
4.0 .10m
Proportion
A proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. It is a statement that two ratios
3 6
are equal. Example: 4
=8
When one of the four numbers in a proportion is unknown, cross products may be
used to find the unknown number. This is called solving the proportion. Question
marks or letters are frequently used in place of the unknown number.
1 n
Example: Solve for n: 2
=4
16
Using cross products, we see that 2xn=1x4=4, so 2xn=4. Dividing both sides by 2
n=4÷2 so that n=2.
Example: Solve for the variable.
𝑋 20
6
= 24
𝑋 20
Step 1: 6
= 24 (Multiply)
24𝑥 120
Step 2: = (Divide)
24 24
Answer: 𝑥 = 5
Example: Solve for the variable.
4 𝑥
7
= 21
4 𝑥
Step 1: = (Multiply)
7 21
7𝑥 84
Step 2: 7
= 7 (Divide)
Answer: 𝑥 = 12
Ratio
Examples:
Kim has a bag with 3 video cams, 4 marbles, 7 books, and 1 mango.
1. What is the ratio of books to marbles?
Expressed as a fraction, with the numerator equal to the first quantity and the
denominator equal to the second, the answer would be 7/4. Two other ways of writing
the ratio are 7 to 4, and 7:4.
2. What is the ratio of the video cams to the total number of items in the bag? There
3
are 3 video cams, and 3+4+7+1 = 15 items total. The answer can be expressed as ,
15
3 to 15 or 3:15.
The simplest way to compute percentage is to divide the given amount by the total
and then multiply the answer by 100.
The equation can be put up as follows: (Given amount /Total amount) x100
For example, if John scores 60 out of 75 in Drafting Technology, we can find the
percentage of his marks by dividing 60 by 75 the answer is 0.8, then multiply it to
100, the percentage of his marks is 80%.
17
Conversion of decimals to fractions
Examples:
4 2
A. 0.4 = 10
or 5
2 1
B. 0.25 = 100
or 4
328 82 41
C. 0.328 = 1000
or 250
or 125
This table is used to find the equivalent decimal numbers and millimeters of a given
fraction.
Metric measurements in decimals are often long numbers. They must often be
rounded to a convenient number of digits. In this text most metric dimensions are
either whole millimeter or two - place decimals that have been rounded off. To help
you round off your own calculation, rules of rounding are discussed below.
1. If the first number to be eliminated is less than 5, simply drop it (and the number
to the right of it) and let the last significant digit stand.
Example: Round off 25.4 mm to whole millimeter.
Solution: Simply drop the .4
Answer: 25
Example: Round off 0.3125 (5/16) into two significant digits. Solution: The
18
first number to be eliminated is 2: Simply drop it and all numbers
to its right (5)
Answer: 0.31
2. If the number to be eliminated is 5 or more, drop the number, then add one to the
last digit retained.
Example:
a. Round off 78.6 into its nearest ones.
Solution: The number to be rounded off is 6 which is greater than
5, drop 6 and add one to the last digit retained.
