We can also measure objects by comparing them with objects or using some common non-uniform units like span, cubit, etc.
So we can say that Tina’s desk is 4 hand spans.
Or that the length of the skipping rope is 8 foot spans.
This is known as measuring the length of something.
You can even measure your height with ruler.
