How do you measure things with wheels?
Like if this side must be exactly 34 wheel revolutions long, you put a dent on the side of your wheel, you roll it in a straight line, and when your dent touches the ground for the 34th time, you just measured a length with a wheel.
Oh. Duh. My brain decided not to work today.
Happens to all of us, friend.
And the cool part is that you don't even need to measure the length of the wheel if you know the radius because you can do ✨MATHS✨
A witch, a witch!
Build a bridge out of them!! (Then use a wheel to measure how long it is!!!)
Huh, the more you know…
You mark a point on the circumference and then make the wheel roll in the direction you want to measure while counting the times the mark passes the floor.
You roll it and count how many times you rolled it. Like how an odometer works in your car.
Would an odometer still work if I've got an air freshener in the car to deal with odor?
Yes, but only because of ancient alien mathematics
That's why it's called an Odo-meter.

Very carefully.
Wheely carefully.
