Question

The girth of a tree trunk can be measured by using a ___________.

• A. plastic ruler
• B. metre scale
• C. metre rod
• D. measuring tape

Answer 1

The correct option is D measuring tape

If the object has a curved outline, we can use a measuring tape for taking measurements due to its bendable nature.

The girth of a tree trunk (i.e. circumference of a trunk) can be measured by using a measuring tape as it can be bent around the tree.

A plastic ruler, a metre scale and a metre rod are all made of materials which cannot be bent at all.
