The length of two centimetres is about 0.7874 inches. You can also think of it as equal to 20 millimetres, or 2% of a metre.
The length of 2 centimetres can be seen with the help of a physical ruler or an online ruler. Even without a ruler, you can figure out how long 2 centimetres is by using everyday things. A person’s pinky finger is about 1 centimetre wide. So, the width of two pinkie fingers is about 2 centimetres. When two sugar cubes are next to each other, their width is also about 2 centimetres long. At about 1 millimetre thick, a dime is about 1/20 the length of 2 centimetres.
