Question

9. 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 in telling someone about a distance you measured with such a tape?​

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:

An elastic measuring tape is stretchable. It cannot be used to measure distances because the length of the tape may change on stretching.

The measurements taken using a rubber tape are not accurate.
