Question

Three students measured the length of a corridor and reported their measurements.
The value of their measurements was different. What could be the reason for
the difference in their measurements? (Mention any three)

Answer 1

1-) because the unit in which they have measured would be different

2-)the scale must be having a zero error

3-)the measureing tape did not have sufficient marking as per corridor

Answer 2

Given: Three students measured the length of a corridor and reported their measurements. the value of their measurements was different.

To find: what could be the reason for the difference in their measurements?

Explanation:

The reason possible for differences in their measurements are,

• there may be a fault in the measuring device.
• The students used different measuring devices that can be the reason for their difference in the measurement.
• The smallest length that could be measured by different devices may be different.

So these were the most possible reason that could be the reason for differences in measurement.
