A Measuring Tape is a flexible, retractable tool used to measure length, distance, or dimensions. It typically consists of a cloth, fiberglass, or steel tape marked with measurements in either inches, centimeters, or both. Measuring tapes are commonly used in construction, tailoring, healthcare, and other applications requiring precise measurements. They are portable and easy to use, with varying lengths, commonly ranging from 3 meters (10 feet) to 50 meters (164 feet), depending on the purpose.
