Question

3. Why would you not like to use a measuring tape made of an elastic material like rubber to measure distance? What would be some of the problems you would meet?

Answer 1

Answer:

Elastic tapes are stretchable. So, the length of an elastic measuring tape will change each time due to stretching. So, it will not give correct measurement of a distance. Therefore, we cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance.

Answer 2

Answer:

we would not prefer to measure distance with elastic material because it will not give us accurate information as it can be stretched ,so we should use a measuring tape for measuring distance
