Standard Chips Bag Size Chart and Everything You Need To Know

Many items that we use every day are 5 centimeters long.&nbsp;5 cm is equivalent to 1.9685 inches or 0.05 meters. With a scale or tape, you can quickly measure this length. However, evaluating such short lengths with measuring tools every time you need to determine the size of an object is not only impracticable, but also exceedingly tedious. Therefore, learning to measure small objects without any tools can be quite handy.

But, 5 cm is very small in terms of size. This makes it difficult to visualize such a length. To learn the skill of measuring 5 cm without any tools, you need to have point-of-reference items or things that are 5 centimeters long.

To help you with this, I have compiled a list of 5 common things that are 5 cm long. You can quickly estimate the size of 5 cm by comparing the objects with the things below.

<a href="https://www.poison.org/articles/my-child-ate-a-match-191">Image Source</a>

A matchstick is a tool used for ignition. Usually, matchsticks are made of hardwood sticks with a coating on one end that can start a fire when struck against a compatible surface. Despite the popularity of electric igniters and gas lighters, matchsticks continue to be one of the most commonly used fire-starting tools in every part of the world. Most likely, you can find one in your kitchen drawer. These matchsticks are appropriate not only for outdoor activities like camping and barbecue parties but also for emergency preparedness and building DIY survival kits.

Depending on the brand and kind of match being evaluated, a matchstick’s length can vary.&nbsp;The majority of regular matchsticks which are included in safety matches are, however, only up to 48 millimeters, or 4.8 cm, in length.&nbsp;Therefore, a matchstick can be used as a reference when figuring out the size of a small object, as it is quite near to 5 centimeters.

There’s no need for me to explain what a baseball is. You probably learned to play baseball as a child and have a set of baseball cards featuring the greatest players like Babe Ruth, Derek Jeter, Pete Rose, and many other baseball legends. Even if the popularity of the sport is declining and e-sports are becoming more and more popular, baseball will always be considered the national pastime of the United States.

Baseballs that are used in major league competitions range in diameter from 2.86 to 2.94 inches or about 7.2644 cm to 7.4676 cm.&nbsp;This is quite close to the 5-centimeter mark. If you want to assess whether something is around five centimeters or not, you can compare it with a baseball’s diameter.

Coins are one of the most ubiquitous items in the world, therefore using them to measure small objects is quite practical. They come in a range of sizes depending on the country and monetary value.&nbsp;A U.S. quarter, for instance, has a diameter of 24.26 mm or 2.426 cm.&nbsp;Lining up two quarters in a row equals 48.52 mm or 4.85 cm, which is pretty close to five centimeters.

<a href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/federal-reserve-s-dollar-coin-stores-good-for-21-years">Image Source</a>

The diameter of a one-dollar American coin is 26.49 mm or 2.649 cm. This means that if you line up two of them side by side in a row, the total width will be 52.98 mm or&nbsp; 5.298 cm. This is also fairly close to the 5-centimeter threshold.

Next time you need to estimate whether something is five centimeters or not, visualize two quarters or two $1 coins lined up in a row and use that as a reference.

The most widely used batteries in the world are AA batteries. An AA battery is a single-cell cylinder-shaped dry battery made of either lithium, carbon zinc, or alkaline cells. These batteries are widely used in electronic handhelds and other gadgets. AA batteries are manufactured and sold by well-known companies including Duracell, ACDelco, Panasonic, Energizer, AmazonBasics, and many others.

If you’ve ever replaced the batteries in your child’s toys or of the smoke detector, you probably have an idea about the size of an AA battery. Despite the fact that batteries come in a wide range of sizes, the size of an AA battery has been standardized. **An AA battery is typically&nbsp;<a href="https://www.batteryequivalents.com/aa-batteries-size-types-and-equivalents.html" target="_blank">50.5 mm&nbsp;</a>or 5.05 centimeters long.&nbsp;**

An AA battery is a great measurement reference for 5 centimeters because it is only 0.05 cm longer. So, if you need to measure something tiny, picture an AA battery and compare the size of the object to it to get a fair estimate.

It is not necessary to be an avid golf fan or a golfer to know what a golf tee is. Golf tees are something you may be familiar with if you’ve ever seen the PGA Championship or European Tour. First and foremost, know that golf tees are not the same as tee shirts!

Now, you may have seen the little white stands used by golfers to lift and hold the ball before making a strike with a club on television. Those tiny stands are known as golf tees. Professional golfers Walter Hagen and Joe Kirkwood were responsible for popularizing the tee.

Golf tees come in a wide range of sizes. The length of the tee golfers use is largely determined by their preferences and swinging techniques. Golf tees made by manufacturers range in size from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.golfspan.com/what-size-golf-tee-should-i-use" target="_blank">1.5 inches up to 4 inches</a>&nbsp;and don’t exceed this height limit.&nbsp;Small golf tees, such as those measuring 2 or 2.125 inches, are roughly 5 centimeters long (5.08 cm and 5.39 cm, respectively).

Therefore, use a small golf tee as a reference to determine if something is 5 centimeters in size or not.

In this article, I have covered only five of the most common 5 centimeters long things. While some of them are not precisely 5 centimeters, however, these can serve as a point of comparison and help in measuring small objects. If you keep your eyes peeled, you can find many items that are five centimeters or close to it.

Everywhere you look, in every aspect of our lives, from our surroundings to the fields of science, commerce, culinary arts, music, agriculture, manufacturing, navigation, and many more, we utilize measuring to learn, make decisions, and take action accordingly.

Your life would be much easier if you know the diameter of many common things. Sure, using tape or a scale to measure something is quite simple, but you aren’t always carrying such things with you, are you? For this, knowing how long something is can come in handy when you need to measure something quickly because if you are aware of the length beforehand, you can compare it to an object of a similar size.

To assist you with this, below I’ve listed 9 common things that are 7 inches long.

The term “butter knife” applies to any table knife that lacks serrations, has a rounded tip, and dull edges. In order to prevent the bread from breaking apart when spreading butter, these knives feature round tips and dulled edges. Although they come in various sizes and styles, butter knives are typically 5 to 7 inches long.&nbsp; These are only a little bit smaller than dinner knives. These knives are also referred to as butter spreaders.

You have undoubtedly used a butter knife if you’ve been to a fancy restaurant, a dinner party, a brunch, a luncheon, or any other kind of informal dinner party. And, in most kitchens, butter knives are a standard item. Most likely, there is one in your home too.

So, if you need to measure anything in the kitchen or at a formal dinner party, you can use a butter knife. But don’t forget to wipe off the butter of the knife first.

You most likely know what paper clips are. You know, the fasteners that bind paper sheets together and are often formed of steel wire twisted into a closed elongated “U” looped shape? Yeah, those.

There are numerous types of paper clips, but the Gem clip is the one that is most widely used. And, these also come in a range of sizes but the standard length of the colorful, oblong-shaped paperclips is approximately 1 inch. Therefore, you can line up 7 paper clips, all measuring up to seven inches.&nbsp;

We always seem to have debit or credit cards with us, and they are virtually all of the same length. Chances are, you most likely have a credit card in your wallet right now. These rectangular-shaped, metal, or plastic cards are typically issued by banks or other financial services providers and allow users to borrow money with ease. However, the corporate doesn’t realize that they can also be used for measuring things.

Given that a conventional credit or debit card is typically 3.2 to 3.5 inches long, lining up two of them will yield a length of about 7 inches. If there isn’t a scale around and you need to measure something, you can use your credit or debit card.

If you’ve ever dined at a restaurant, you may have noticed that your salad was tastefully presented on a small-sized dish. That small dish was a salad plate. These plates usually are made to exquisitely showcase your veggies and are frequently used for the first or second portion of your dinner.

Salad plates are usually a little bit smaller than dinner plates. There are two distinct sizes available for these salad plates. The smaller ones have a proportion of 7 inches in diameter, while the larger ones are about 8 to 8.5 inches in diameter.

You probably watched or heard how Tiger Woods was stomping his Open Championship rivals. So, you most likely know what a golf ball looks like. You don’t have to be a golf maniac to recognize a golf ball.

Golf balls typically have a diameter of 1.68 inches, and they are not allowed to surpass this size by official standards. Thus, if you picture four golf balls lined up together, they would be approximately 7 inches long.

A wooden pencil is one of the most ubiquitous objects ever. Consequently, chances are you probably have one at your workplace or your home. There are numerous sizes of pencils available. However, the standard length of a #2 size wooden pencil that you can typically find being used in classrooms and workplaces is about 7 to 7.5 inches. This is evaluated when they are brand-new and haven’t been sharpened.

If necessary, you can measure objects with a pencil or visualize a pencil to determine how long exactly 7 inches is.

Kids and adults alike enjoy drawing with crayons. If you ever attended a primary school, regardless of where you lived, you almost certainly used the crayons in art classes.

Typically, a crayon is 3.5 inches long. Thus, the size of two crayons lined up together makes 7 inches.

In every country in the world, coins are one of the most commonly available things. Now, there’s a high likelihood that you’ll find one or two coins if you shake your wallet or pockets.

Quarters in the United States have a diameter of 1 inch. To visualize 7 inches, just picture seven quarters lined up together. Additionally, pennies have a diameter of.75 inches. Therefore, you can approximate how long 7 inches is by placing 9 pennies in a row.

You can find numerous novelty items that are 7 inches long. The distinctiveness of these items is what attracts buyers. Some of these items are manufactured as gags or for comic effect, while other times, they could be rare or historic items, such as the antique 7 inches diameter Koprebati singing bowl. And, if you search hard enough, you can find tons of other novelty items with 7 inches dimension.

In this article, I’ve only included 9 of the most common items that are 7 inches in size. However, there are numerous items available with the same diameter or length. You can find more if you keep an eye out for them.

When it's about distance, especially in sports like track and field, the measurement of 100 meters usually comes up first. But just how long is 100 meters? Let's dive into the dimensions of this distance with references.

When we discuss the length of 100 meters, it's helpful to compare it to other common units of measurement. Here are some quick checks:

There are 1,000 meters in a kilometer. So, to find out how many kilometers 100 meters is, we simply divide 100 by 1,000. This gives us 0.1 kilometers. That means 100 meters is equal to 0.1 kilometers. Check for yourself using our <a href="/length-converter/meter-to-km">meter to kilometer converter</a>.

Well, 100 meters equals approximately 328 feet. Imagine taking over 300 steps in a straight line, and you'll get a sense of how far 100 meters stretches. For exact conversion use <a href="/length-converter/meters-to-feet">meter to feet calculator</a>.

Miles are another common unit of measurement, particularly for longer distances. In terms of miles, 100 meters might not sound like much, but it adds up. A mile equals 1,609 meters, so when you <a href="/length-converter/meters-to-miles">convert meters to miles</a>, 100 meters make up about 6 percent of a mile. In other words, it's about 0.06 miles.&nbsp;&nbsp;

For those who use yards as a unit of measurement, 100 meters equals approximately 109.36 yards. Yards are often used in sports like American football and track and field. If you want to convert other meter units to yards, you can use our <a href="/length-converter/meters-to-yards">meter to yards calculator</a>.

This article is exclusively written for <a href="https://www.measurementof.com/">MeasurementOf</a>.

There are objects around you that can give you an estimated measurement of 100 meters. Let's take a look at some of these objects.

A common and easy-to-remember reference is the 100-meter sprint. It is one of the shortest and most popular track events in athletics.

The 100-meter sprint is a track and field event where athletes run a straight line for 100 meters. It takes just seconds to complete, but a good performance requires strength and power.

Running 100 meters may sound like a quick task. Depending on the individual, however, the time can differ greatly.

Athletes from all over the world train for years to compete in this thrilling race. Professional sprinters can cover this distance in under 10 seconds.

<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7835420">Photo</a>&nbsp;attribution: <a href="http://www.erki.nl/">Erik van Leeuwen</a> (bron: Wikipedia).&nbsp;

For elite sprinters like Usain Bolt or Florence Griffith-Joyner, running 100 meters is lightning-fast. At a staggering 9.58 seconds, Usain Bolt has the world record for the men's 100-meter sprint. If you follow sports, you have seen him receiving those <a href="https://www.measurementof.com/how-big-are-the-olympic-game-medals">beautiful big Olympic medals</a> multiple times! On the other hand,, Florence Griffith-Joyner has set the women's record at 10.49 seconds.

But what about regular folks? Well, if you're not a professional sprinter, it might take a bit longer. For someone jogging casually, it could take around 20 to 30 seconds to cover 100 meters.

Here are some common examples we've listed as references for 100 m. While most of them are precisely not 100 m, they can be very helpful to give you a literal idea.

Photo by Markus Spiske on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/sky-sunset-field-sunrise-114296/">Pexels</a>

As mentioned earlier, 100 meters is about 109.36 yards. A <a href="https://www.measurementof.com/soccer-field-dimension-and-size-all-you-need-to-know">football field's length</a>, including both end zones, is about 100 yards or more. So, if you've ever watched a football game, you have a good visual reference for how far 100 meters extends.

2. It's About the height of Big Ben Tower

Photo by Arnold Nagy on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/big-ben-london-during-night-time-11567961/">Pexels</a>

The iconic clock tower in London, England, stands nearly 100 meters tall. Climbing its 334 steps to the top offers a breathtaking city view. Precisely, it's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ben">96.3 meters</a>, which is enough to give you a good reference of 100 m.

The HSBC Tower, aka Canada Square, can be another reference. This skyscraper in London is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Canada_Square">235 meters</a> in height. So, half of this building is simply a hundred meters.

Consisting of 45 floors, this headquarters of the HSBC Group was built in 2002.

4. It's Twice the Length of An Olympic Swimming Pool

Photo by Jim De Ramos on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-doing-swim-race-1263349/">Pexels</a>

In swimming, an Olympic-sized pool is exactly <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic-size_swimming_pool">50 meters long</a>. So, 100 meters would be twice the length of such a pool.

5. It's Double the height of the Arc de Triomphe

Photo by Luca Tivelli on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/arc-de-triomphe-in-paris-at-night-12632738/">Pexels</a>

Another iconic monument is The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_de_Triomphe">Arc de Triomphe</a>, located in Paris, standing tall at 50 meters. Doubling its height brings us to exactly 100 meters. If you are going Paris to enjoy the summer Olypmic games this year (2024), you cannot miss visiting this splendid architecture.

6. It's A Quarter The Height Of Empire State Building

Photo by Onur Kurtic on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/white-concrete-tower-building-164988/">Pexels</a>

The famous New York City building is 443.2 meters tall (including antenna). Imagine taking just a quarter of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building">Empire State Building</a>'s towering height. That's 100 meters right there. Well to be exact 100 m will be a little less than a quarter of this famous building though.

Whether you're talking about the distance, the excitement of the Olympics 100m sprint, or just trying to visualize a length, 100 meters is a handy reference point. It helps us understand sports better, like track and field events in the Olympics, or soccer.&nbsp;

How Long Is 100 Meters?

When you need to measure something but you don't have a ruler or measuring tape, it could be irritating. That is when knowing the measurements of some common things comes in handy — reference obects for two-inch, for example.

Without a ruler, measuring the sizes in inches or similar is quite difficult. But in such cases, we can adopt some alternative ways to get our work done. One is by comparing how big two inches are on our hand, and the other is by comparing with other objects. In the below section, we’ll discuss these two in brief.&nbsp;&nbsp;

2 inches is 1/10th of a foot or <a href="/length-converter/inch-to-foot">0.17 ft</a>. Now if you convert 2in to mm, you get 50.8mm. You can find it using <a href="../../../length-converter/inch-to-mm">inches to mm conversion calculator</a>.&nbsp;

Apart from foot and mm or cm, we can also convert inches to yard. However, yard is a much larger unit than inches. To be exact, <a href="/length-converter/inch-to-yard">0.06 yards</a>.

2in = 0.17 ft = 50.8mm = 5.08 cm = 0.0508m = 0.06 yards

Two inches in the metric system is exactly 5.08 centimeters. You can use <a href="../../../length-converter/inch-to-cm">our converter</a> for this.&nbsp;And the length of our thumb is equivalent to 2 inches as well. Compared with our hand, two inches will be equal to our thumb!

Also, the length of the first joint of our index finger is approximately 1 inch. To get an average size of two inches, use your index finger. Counting two joints will give a value of 2 inches. This is almost the same for most people. So you can use either your thumb or your index finger to estimate two inches value.

How Big Is 2 Inches When Compared with Other Objects?

Another way to understand how big is two inches, we can take some common things around us as examples. There are so many objects around us that are 2 inches long. Let's have a look at some of them.

Image by&nbsp;Burak The Weekender from <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/matchstick-on-white-surface-1317255/">Pexels</a>

To begin, a matchstick will be a good example to compare with. Matchsticks are one of those common household objects that we need every day. These are easily accessible. An average-size matchstick measures around 2 to 2.25 inches in length, most of the time it's 2 inches long. So if you need to compare 2-inch lengths, take a matchstick, and there you go!

Image by Steve Johnson from <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/assorted-silver-and-gold-colored-coins-on-gray-surface-1006060/">Pexels</a>

Another item is to think a 2-inch length is a quarter. Each quarter's coin measures <a href="https://www.usmint.gov/learn/coin-and-medal-programs/coin-specifications">around one inch in diameter</a>, 0.955 to be exact. So if you want to know how long two inches are, line up 2 quarters touching each other at the edge.&nbsp;

As quarters are round objects, the&nbsp;length from one&nbsp;coin's&nbsp;edge&nbsp;to&nbsp;the other&nbsp;coin's&nbsp;edge will be the maximum length and almost two inches long.

Image by Ann H from <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-lot-of-paper-clips-2448452/">Pexels</a>

Paper clips are common in schools or offices, and used to bond paper and other documents. They come in a variety of sizes. The small size is only 1.1 inches in length. You can line up 2 paperclips straight and have the same length as 2 inches. 

Also, there are larger paper clips that are 2 inches each. That will be a direct example to understand how big two inches are.

Image by CardMapr.nl from <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/blue-and-white-visa-card-on-silver-laptop-computer-s8F8yglbpjo">Unsplash</a>

The standard dimensions of a credit card are 3.375×2.125 inches.&nbsp;To compare how big two inches are, we can use the size of a credit card. Almost all credit cards have a standard dimension that allows them to fit into any cash machine worldwide. So next time you need to find a 2in reference use your credit card's width. It's almost 2 inches.

If a credit card is unavailable, you can also compare a debit card.

Image by Kenny Eliason from <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/black-box-h5HyyG9ejro">Unsplash</a>

Like credit or debit cards, another example can be a business card. Standard printed business cards are 3.5x2 inches. Meaning the height, or you can say the width, of the card is 2 inches long. So, to estimate how big 2 inches are, you can compare the height of your business card.&nbsp;
