Yes, Sketchup is designed and offers all the necessary features to measure angles and distance. Luckily, there is a very detailed guide on the official website which explains with pictures and all how to properly measure the distance and length.
I'm having some difficulties downloading SketchUp Works, when I try to launch the .exe, it says it's extracting but nothing happens.

The SketchUp Works application doesn't appear to be available anymore, nor there are instructions on how to properly install it. If it's just a plug-in or add-on, then you should check the main SketchUp application because it might be already installed into its database. Additionally, most installers can be extracted. If you have WinRAR, right click the setup package and select Extract to. Most likely you will find many files and installation instructions.
Where can I find information regarding the SketchUp program? Are there any tutorials or guides?

You can find information about SketchUP at the official Sketchup website. You will be able to find there all the things that you need to know, including addons and a 3D models database. Also, the website has a Learn section where you can find different options including forums and video tutorials.
The SketchUp Make is a free tool that allows drawing models in 3D mode. This version is released to make 3D modelling a lot easier than using a dedicated CAD application. It offers the same features as SketchUp, but they're optimized for beginners. The application supports Google Earth and Maps integration, and it offers tutorials and tips to design fast and accurate. More information about the software can be found on the website listed below.
Please provide any information regarding the SketchUp models.

If you need models for your SketchUp project, you can access the official SketchUp 3D Warehouse and get from there almost anything you need as this is the largest Sketchup models database.
To load a model from the gallery, download it first from the official website clicking on the button located on the lower-right side. It should look like this: Click to view
The file format of the file should always be SKP (the default format for the SketchUp application). If SketchUp is installed correctly, double click the file and it should open automatically in the application, then you can manipulate in all ways possible.
SketchUP Layout is a feature available for SketchUP PRO which enables you to better understand how linear and angular dimensioning works in the application. The function provides you different tools to set the format, scale, and precision of displayed measurements.

There is a simple way of adding textures to the program. Click the paint bucket icon in the menu bar, and a new window will open called Materials. Click the Plus sign icon that's labeled Create Material. You will see the Texture field. Browse to where the texture is saved on your hard drive. Once it's been added, rename the texture and adjust its size. Click OK and it should be added to the Model collection of textures.
You can download additional textures using the websites listed through Google Search: https://goo.gl/DzSwcq
