Question

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 problem you would meet in telling someone about a distance you measured with such a tape

Answer 1

Answer:

That would be hard to get the accurate measurement because how much you strech the rubber it will expand and you can't show the same measure.

Answer 2

An elastic measuring tape will not give accurate measurement as it stretches in length and reduces in size when stretched. When we express measurement taken with elastic tape, we have to tell whether the tape was stretched. If yes, how much. Hence it is very difficult to tell the measurement taken from an elastic tape.
