Where is the measurement tool in Reader DC?

I'm following instructions that basically say "Click Edit > Analysis > Measuring Tool" and illustrates it with screenshots from an apparently different version of the reader. The screenshot shows Analysis between Protection and Accessibility, but I don't see it there in my installation.

    I'm new to the recent version of Acrobat DC. I know this thread is about Reader... But hey, if you wind up here, in Acrobat you need to go to Tools then SEARCH for "Measure," and click Add. then you can go to Tools tab and open measure tools. It seems to be totally hidden until you search.

    I just started to use Reader DC Measuring Tool.

    I changed Scale Ratio 1 in = 3 ft. And when I am using that measuring tool it gives me ALL numbers in inches only!

    What should I do to see results in ft as I did in Scale Ratio?

    Please help. And excuse me if it is a stupid question.
