Andrea wants to measure how far each of her classmates can throw a heavy ball. some of her classmates can throw it more than a meter. she has her choice of tools with which to measure the distance: a 30 cm ruler, 15 cm calipers, or a 5 m tape measure. which of the above would it be best for andrea to use, and why? a. the calipers would be best because they can measure distances much more precisely than the other tools. b. the tape measure would be best because it is long enough to span the entire distance being measured. c. the ruler would be best because it cannot bend, so it will measure the distance in a straight line. d. the tape measure and the ruler would work equally well, but the calipers are too small to be used to measure distance.
