A scale is a measuring instrument used to measure the dimensions of an object or the distances between two points. It can come in various forms, such as a ruler, tape measure, or a digital scale. Scales are commonly used in fields like engineering, architecture, design, and many other industries where precise measurements are required.

The features of a scale can include:
