Question 2

How can you use the Scale tool to set an object's exact length or height? What do you do when the dimension that you want to use is in inches? And how does this differ from using the Tape Measure tool for resizing?

Answer to Question 1

The size dimension identifies the size of a feature, and the location dimension determines where the feature is located.

Answer to Question 2

Start the scale operation, then enter the length you want, followed by the unit sign. Because the double-quotation mark cannot be entered this way, if your length is in inches, enter the equivalent value in feet, whose symbol is the single quote. You could adjust the value for inches immediately afterward, including the inch symbol. Scale can be used to specify a length in one, two, or even three directions, whereas the Tape Measure tool always resizes an object in its entirety
