Definition of Indirect Measurement. Indirect measurement is a technique that uses proportions to find a measurement when direct measurement is not possible. The length of a pole in a picture is given as 4 inches. The scale of the picture is given to be 1 inch : 13 inches. By setting up a proportion, the length n of the actual pole can be found.
For example, to measure a short distance, you can use either inches or centimeters, which are often located on the same ruler. Using the imperial system, Sarah might find something to be 10 inches, but you might measure it using the metric system and find that it is 25.4 centimeters.
