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?

Since the tape is stretchable, its will show the same measurements for different lenths. Therefore we cannot use it as measuring tape. While measuring a distance, we need to tell someone how much tape has been stretched which is difficult to measure. It leads to incorrect measurements.

An elastic measuring tape stretches, causing measurement inaccuracies. It leads to unreliable and imprecise distance measures. Explaining measured distances becomes difficult due to the tape’s inconsistent stretching, making it hard to convey precise and reliable information about the distance measured.
