What advantages does a tape measure have over a measuring cord?

Small physical size when tape is rolled up - most are 5 meters or more long, 5 meters of cord is a big pile. A tape measure is stiff, a cord will stretch so accuracy is better, you can hook the end of a tape measure over it, walk all the way to the end to measure, a cord you would have to fit it (nail/tape) at one end first, so ease of use.

What is the measure of the steepness of line expressed as rise over run?
The measure of the steepness of line expressed as rise over run is called slope.
How do you find your body volume using a tape measure?
ACCURATELY measure a container into which your body will fit comfortably. Once you know the volume, fill the container with water. Lower yourself into the water, allowing excess to spill over the top then climb out. By measuring the amount that the water that has spilled over you are effectively measuring your body volume. You can get a pretty accurate measurement by using the tape measure to see how much the water volume has dropped after you get out of the water. depends what you mean by accuracy and to what degree. the theory of fractals says that with one measuring instrument you would read x units. with a second smaller measuring instrument to achieve greater accuracy you would read y units (y bigger than x). Moving to a third yet small measuring instrument you would read z units (z > y >x) and so forth. You can never get a truly accurate answer. Failing all of that use Archimedes displacement principle and get a good estimate ! An alternative method of measuring body volume accurately is through the use of a 3D Body Volume Index (BVI) scanner. The BVI scanner is specifically designed to calculate risk factors associated with a person's shape, through analysis of weight and body fat distribution by body section and body volume measurement.
How do you measure km?
There are various methods to measure 1 km: To measure 1 km vertically measure the air pressure (using a barometer) at sea level and then go up until the measured air pressure drops so that given the temperature, the pressure is that which is expected at a height of 1 km. To measure 1 km along the ground use a tape measure/rule shorter than 1 km to measure the km out in sections measuring the next length from the end of the previous measured length, eg if you have a 1m rule measure the 1m one thousand times. Using a measuring wheel - surveyors use a wheel which is 1 metre round its circumference - which counts the number of revolutions: measure the required number of revolutions. (A car mileometer uses a similar system counting the number of revolutions of the drive shaft from the gearbox to the wheels and is usually set up to over estimate the speed of the vehicle - they are about 10% accurate - but note as the tyres wear down, it will over estimate slightly more as the circumference of the wheels shrinks) To measure 1 km from a point, measure off a distance, say 10 m (the longer the better), perpendicular to the direction wanted and then measure an angle from the end of the distance based on the length of the distance measured (eg for 10m, the angle required is arc tan(1km/10m) = arc tan(1000m/10m) = arc tan(100) ≈ 89.4°
What are the advantages of regression over correlation?
Correlation is a measure of association between two variables and the variables are not designated as dependent or independent. Simple regression is used to examine the relationship between one dependent and one independent variable. It goes beyond correlation by adding prediction capabilities.
How do you measure the over all length of boat?
from the base to the tip.
What are the advantages of the electric lawn mower?
An electric lawn mower has advantages over gas and push mowers. It does not require gas and are cheaper. However, there is always a risk of running over the electrical cord.
What advantages or disadvantages might there be for measuring one over the other?
you are prevented from doing your own job well
What are the advantages of using a cordless planer?
Not accidentally planing over an electrical cord, and accessability anywhere would be the biggest advantages for using a cordless planer. The only drawback is that the cordless planers are more expensive.
What are the advantages of multimeter over other instruments?
A multimeter is far better for measuring electrical charges, resistance, etc then say a slide rule
What are debicels?
Decibles, or a decible, is the unit of measure when measuring sound volume. For example, in a concert, the volume can be over 500 decibles.
Which unit would you use to measure the temperature of the day?
Degree celcious is used all over the world for measuring temperature
If you found a rock and you want to measure its volume what would you do to measure the rock volume?
Use water displacement. Measure water before you put the rock in it, and then again afterwards. Put a measuring cup large enough to hold the rock in a pot large enough to hold the measuring cup and fill the measuring cup to the very top with water. Lower the rock into the measuring cup carefully so that the water flows over and into the pot. Carefully remove the measuring cup with the rock without spilling any additional water into the pot. When you measure the water in the pot it will equal to the volume of the rock (accuracy will depend on how careful you were). This is displacement measuring.
How do price indexes measure inflation?
Prices indexes measure the rate of inflation from month to month by measuring by how much the price of a number of goods increase over time.This might help as well:What_does_the_consumer_price_index_measure
What is the advantages and disadvantages of tape measure?
The main advantage of tape measure is that it is accurate and is flexible and allows the user to measure the circumference of circular objects. A tape measure can become difficult to use when it is used over long distances. If you're talking about self-retracting tape measures (the ones used in construction), the advantage of them is that they are compact, portable and easy to use. However, they don't bend that easily.

Advantages of conductometric titration over volumetric method?
'Conductometric' IS a special case of volumetric analysis, it's the way of measuring the endpoint of titration. An other method is 'potentiometric' by measurement of pH.
How do you measure breasy size?
Wrap the measuring tape under your breasts around the torso. Wrap the measuring tape around the torso across your nipples. take both numbers and subtract the Under bust number from the over bust and that will give you your cup size.
