A measuring apparatus for measuring an object includes a base member including a portion having a medial cavity and an extendible member that slidably engages the medial cavity of the base member. The extendible member includes a medial member having a mid point indicator defined by an elongate medial passageway, and a point locator defined by a passageway formed through an end portion thereof. The extendible member also includes a pair of opposing flexible members connected to the medial member. Each one of the pair of opposing flexible members have point locators defined by passageways formed through end portions thereof. The measuring apparatus also includes an intersection member connected to the point locaters on the pair of opposing flexible members, and a plurality of sets of measurement marks carried by at least one of the base member and the extendible member relating to a predetermined measurement of the object to be measured.
