[Inkscape-user] Determining the size of selections

I know in the gimp when you use either the rectangle or elliptical selection you are able to see what the size of the selection. Is there a way in inkscape to determine the size of lets say square or circle. Because right now it seems that I am just guessing as to the dimension even with the ruler in use.
