In this aspect, it can be said that it is related to the aspects of measurement; it is one of the essential elements within what is the precise measurement of the distance between two points. All these processes were important previously, helping the ancients to be able to set limits on the land and determine the extension that certain components should have in a construction. The special theory of relativity, developed by Einstein, proposes that the length can vary according to the individual who observes it.
Similarly, certain methods were devised to carry out these activities, such as the use of arms, feet, hands and fingers to be able to take measurements of an area or object. Nowadays, other units are used such as the meter, which changes depending on the magnitude with which it is wanted to measure, that is, each derivation of the meter has a different equivalence; for example, the kilometer is much greater than the decameter, centimeter, millimeter, among others. Likewise, the purpose for which it is used has changed, since it goes more towards the field of technological research, in addition to, obviously, chemistry and physics.
