100 cm on a ruler
100 cm on a ruler is 100 cm, 1000 mm and 39.37 inches from zero. The blue line on the left ruler ends at that length.
Rest the object on the zero line. Hover the ruler, or drag on the blank area to measure between two points.
How to find it on the ruler
The blue band runs from zero to this mark. If it passes the screen, scroll the horizontal ruler. A narrow phone does not shrink the scale; the mark simply sits further along. The left ruler stays fixed as soon as the page opens.
- 1. Find the 0 mark at the top of the left ruler. Rest one edge of the object on that line.
- 2. The long blue marks are centimetres. Ten short gaps sit between them, and each gap is 1 millimetre.
- 3. Stop on the long mark labelled 100. That line is the length.
- 4. Match a bank card once so this screen shows a real centimetre. Keep the browser zoom at 100%.
