Is a meter stick or a 50 m tape better to measure a gym?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

A 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.

Answer 3

A 50 m tape would be better to measure a gym as it has a longer reach and can cover greater distances compared to a meter stick. This would allow for more efficient and accurate measurement of larger spaces like a gym.
