VectorScribe VS Instant Eyedropper

I don't know how to do this natively in Ai, but you can do it with VectorScribe. Source: about 1 year ago

I dunno an easy way to do it with bare Illustrator but I use the Smart Point Removal Brush in Astute’s VectorScribe plugin a lot. There’s a couple more tools for point removal in that plugin that might fit your workflow better, the brush is the one I like. Source: over 2 years ago

You can use the Measure tool (hiding under the eyedropper in the toolbar). Astute's Dynamic Measure tool (part of Vectorscribe) may be useful here too if you feel like paying for plugins, it can have multiple measurements floating around on the canvas, as well as measure the distance of a path.
