Conveniently measure objects in physical space — in or out of your classroom — with the Measure app. Measure can also automatically provide the dimensions and area of a rectangular object, displaying measurement information in the context of the physical world.
Measure a rectangle. Open Measure and slowly scan nearby objects onscreen. A white box appears over rectangular objects; tap it to see the dimensions. Tap Clear.
Measure manually. Place the dot that’s on the centre of the screen over a point you want to start measuring, then tap Add button to add a point. Slowly pan iPad to the end point, then tap Add button to see the measured length.
Snap a photo. Tap Shutter button to take a photo of your measurement.
Calculate the volume of a three-dimensional shape, like a pyramid, cylinder or cone. Measure its dimensions, then calculate using the formula for that shape.
Practise your estimation skills. Find a rectangular prism around your room with a length of twice its height. Predict its dimensions, then measure it. Compare the measurements to your prediction.
