Question

7. Why could you not use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance? What would be some of the
problems you would meet in telling someone about a distance you measured with an elastic tape?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Elastic tapes are stretchable.

Explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

You can't use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance because an elastic tape does not have any proper length, you can stretch it too much as its made of elastic. While we measured the distance by an elastic tape to measure when we will try to measure the elastic tape then, so the measure of that tape would not come out perfectly because an elastic tape is stretchible
