MEASURE of an angle, is an arch described from the vertex in any place between its legs. Hence angles are distinguished by the ratio of the arches, described from the vertex between the legs to the peripheries. Angles then are distinguished by those arches; and the arches are distinguished by their ratio to the periphery. Thus an angle is said to be so many degrees as there are in the said arch.

MEASURE of a solid, is a cube whose side is an inch, a foot, or a yard, or any other determinate length. In geometry it is a cubie perch, divided into cubic feet, digits, &c.

MEASURE of velocity, in Mechanics, is the space passed over by a moving body in a given time. To measure a velocity, therefore, the space must be divided into as many equal parts as the time is conceived to be divided into; the quantity of space answering to such a part of time is the measure of the velocity.
