Solution

Hi Madhav!

You cannot measure the length of a curve using a compass. However, you can measure the length of a curve putting a thread on the boundary of the curve. Then take this thread and make straightened. Now, measure the length of this straightened thread. The length of this thread is the length of the curve.

Cheers!
