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.
Distance is the scalar measurement of a length or interval between two points and is measured by considering the complete path that it takes to get from one point to another. Displacement is the vector measure of an interval between two locations and describes the shortest path connecting them. The actual or scalar measure is what is described as the scientific definition of distance. For example, consider an example in which a man walks from his house to his car and back.
