Question

Which of the following should one measure using a measuring tape?

• A. Height of a water bottle
• B. Length of a pencil
• C. Length of a book
• D. Height of a door

Answer 1

The correct option is D Height of a door

$\text{Say:}$
$\bullet$ The length of a pencil is comparatively smaller (in inches) and can be measured using an inch scale.

$\bullet$ The height of a door is big and usually measured in feet. So, a measuring tape should be used to measure its height.

$\bullet$ The height of a water bottle or the length of a book is also small (in inches) and can be measured using an inch scale.

$\bullet$ Hence, option B is the correct answer.

$\text{Q. Can you give another example where a measuring tape can be used?}$
A: Yes. To measure the length of a table or the length of a bed, we can use a measuring tape.
