Answer 1

The correct option is A 6 units

Here,
To measure any line segment, place the edge or ‘0’ mark of the ruler on one end and check the reading on the ruler on the other end of the line segment.

Now, we use divider for more accuracy.
Here, the length of the line segment is 6 units as the other end of the ruler as well as the divider is extended till 6.
