Length and width are linear measurements of dimension. Length and width can be measured with a ruler. Length is how long an object is. It is the longest part of the rock. Width is how wide an object is. The circumference is the distance around an object. Scientists use the metric system to measure length, width, and circumference. We will use centimeters to measure the length, width, and circumference. The abbreviation for centimeters is cm. 1. Click the to watch the video. 2. Click to open the template. 3.
