The length is the size or the measure of how long or short something is. The standard units used for measuring length are metre and centimetre. A metre ruler or measuring tape are used to measure length. Small lengths are measured in centimetres. Long lengths are measured in metres. Longer lengths or distances are measured in kilometres.

The given map shows the distance between the school and the homes of five friends. Tick ( √ ) the shorter distance. Distance between Anup's home and school Distance between Ankur's home and school

We need to tick ( √ ) the shorter distance. Distance means the space or gap between the two objects. According to the diagram, As we can see the distance of Ankur's home is shorter than the Anup's home from the school. So, Distance between Ankur's home and School has shorter distance Distance between Anup's home and school Distance between Ankur's home and school √ Hence the required answer is shown above.

The given map shows the distance between the school and the homes of five friends. Tick ( √ ) the longer distance. Distance between Ankit' home and school Distance between Atul's home and school

We need to tick ( √ ) the longer distance. Distance means the space or gap between the two objects. According to the diagram, As we can see the distance of Atul's home is longer than Ankit's home from the school. So, Distance between Atul's home and school has longer distance. Distance between Ankit' home and school Distance between Atul's home and school √ Hence the required answer is shown above.
