Stepping off a distance by counting your paces is generally a more precise method of measuring than using a measuring tape.

True or false?

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It depends on the distance and the curvature of the path. It is a straight line between endpoints and the length is a reasonable multiple of the full length of the tape measure then the tape measure is more accurate. If on the other hand the terrain is rugged and/or curvy then there isn't much to choose between the two. I think you are intended to answer false. The question leaves a lot to be desired.
