would you use a ruler or a yardstick to measure a flag pole?

Answer 1

To measure a flagpole, a yardstick would typically be more appropriate than a ruler, primarily because yardsticks are generally longer (usually 3 feet or 36 inches) and can provide a more accurate measurement of tall objects like flagpoles without needing to take multiple measurements. However, if the flagpole is particularly high and not easily accessible, a tape measure or laser measuring tool might be even more effective for the task.
