The 50 meter tape would be better as the margin of error would be smaller.
example: if each measurement you take is off by 4 millionths of a meter by using the meter stick to measure a 100 meter length your measurement will be off by as much as 4 ten-thousanths of a meter or 0.40 millimeters whereas the 50 meter tape measurements will be off only 8 millionths of a meter or 0.008 millimeters.

∙ 13y agoA 50m tape would be more convenient to measure something as large as a gym, unless it were a cloth tape, in which case, stick with the stick.
Cloth tapes gradually stretch with use, and become increasingly inaccurate. A few inches of error in 100 feet is common.

Why is a rule or steel tape more accurate in taking the measurements of any object than a meter stick?
Mainly because the meter stick is thicker and if your eye isn't exactly over the mark you are measuring there will be an error due to parallax. The thinner the measuring device the better result you achieve.
