Solution

A measuring tape can be used to measure the length of the straight iron bars of the grille.
We cannot measure the length of a curved line directly by using a metre scale or tape.
So, we can use a thread to measure the length of the curved line, which can be further measured with the help of a scale.
Thus, the total length of the grill can be measured properly.
