Question

Three students measured the length of a corridor and reported their measurements. The values of their measurements were different. What could be the reasons for difference in their measurements? (Mention any three)

Answer 1

The reasons for the difference in their measurements are as follows:

• They may be using non-standardized methods of measurements like cubit, yard, hand span which is why they have different values of measurements.
• They may be using faulty instruments which give the inaccurate value of measurements.
• Access to the corner of a corridor is not easy, maybe that's why there is an error in their measurements.
