Question

The girth of a tree can be measured by using a:

• A. Metre scale
• B. Measuring tape
• C. Plastic ruler
• D. Metre rod

Answer 1

The correct option is B Measuring tape

The devices that are commonly used for measuring length are metre scale and measuring tape. If the object is round, then we have to use a measuring tape to measure the length. The girth of a tree can be measured only by using a measuring tape because a measuring tape can be bent around the tree. A plastic ruler, a metre scale, or a metre rod is made of metal and cannot be bent at all.
