Tape and rod measure length like a scale but are more flexible and suited for different contexts. “Char angula” refers to an old measurement unit, meaning “four fingers” or roughly 7-10 cm, used in traditional contexts.
Are the tape and rod similar to the scale that the elder sister has in her geometry box? What did mother mean by char angula?

Tape measures and rods are similar to the scale in a geometry box as they all measure length. However, tapes are flexible and rods are rigid, suited for various uses. The term “char angula” means “four fingers” in traditional measurement systems, roughly equivalent to 7-10 centimeters. This unit was used in historical contexts to estimate lengths based on the width of four fingers. It highlights how measurement systems have evolved from body-based units to standardized ones.
