Multimeters measure AC in two primary ways... The older style meter uses a diode, capacitor, and resistor to measure the peak voltage of the AC signal. They then compensate their calibration to read in a close approximation of what the RMS value will be. Problem is that this only works well for true sinusoidal waveforms - if the waveform is triangular, for instance, the indicated value will not match the RMS value. The newer style meter, if it states that it is a true RMS meter, will sample the input waveform and actually calculate the RMS value. This is done by adding up the squares of the input, and then taking the square root of the result. That is a much better approximation of how much power the waveform can deliver.
The simple rectifiers in a cheap voltmeter, will generate a DC voltage, that will be presented as if it were a measurement of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value of a sine wave.
For waveforms removed from an RMS one, there is no attempt to consider the peak value, or the 'mark to space' ratio, etc.
These unusual signals are of course accurately represented on oscilloscope displays.
peak to peak, peak, average or rms?
Resistance
how which is right and which is wrong. You need a voltage standard with that you can calibrate both to the standard
The standard measuring unit for resistance is ohm.
The merits of a person's foot, you can use it anytime and anywhere, not unlike bringing lots of materials. But avoid your carelessness on using your foot. Because sometimes some people are not much accurate. So when they're measuring using their foot, the measurement might be not exact. Remember, even the greatest falls with this kind of measurement

Micrometer is having a ratchet to rotate which is pre-loaded to get standard thrust while measurement, whereas in the case of a vernier the accuracy of measurement depend on the pressure each individual applying while the measurement.

A geiger counter is a measuring instrument, not a measure.

You would use meters for measuring length in the metric system, which is the standard unit for length. Inches are used in the imperial system for measuring length.
to make the same type of measurement around world so that there is a universal when measuring certain substances.
Yes, the pint is a defined standard unit in the imperial measurement system and the US customary system. It is used frequently for measuring the volume of beverages and food. It is not an S.I. standard unit.
The unit of measurement for silver is typically in ounces or grams. Silver is usually measured and traded in troy ounces, which is different from the standard avoirdupois ounce used for measuring weight.
The accuracy of a measurement can be checked by comparing the result to a known standard or reference value. This can be done by repeating the measurement multiple times to assess consistency and precision. Calibration of the measuring instrument against a standard device can also help ensure accuracy.
Make sure you are only measuring what you are after. Not noise and local disterbances. Proper system grounding is needed. Make sure the device you are using has been calibrated periodically properly to a N.B.S. standard. Your measurement will only be accurate to 10 times the standards value. That is a 0.3% accurate standard will only give you a 3% accuracy in your measurement.
When measuring the distance around a closet, use linear feet to calculate the total length of the closet perimeter. Linear feet is a standard unit of measurement for distances.
The standard measurement of bedding is in inches.
