No

Explanation:

She will not be able to measure the length of her window accurately due to instrumental error from her choice of instrument. The elastic nature of her tape would alter the measurement because it will stretch as she is taking her readings, thus reducing the true measurement of the length of her window.

To measure the length of her window, she could use an inelastic tape rule or a metre rule. These instruments would eliminate instrumental error.
