Question

Why can you not use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance? What problems you may face if you use it​

Answer 1

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. Therefore, we cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance.

Answer 2

Answer:

We cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distances as it does not have a fixed length. Elastic tape can be streched and does not show correct readings. The stretched length is not constant and varies with the applied force to stretch the elastic tape
