Common US Party Dress Size Chart For Women

Looking for common things that are 10 feet long? You have come to the right place. In this captivating article, I have listed 10 common things that are 10 feet long to help you compare and understand the size.

Before we delve into a list of estimates, let’s see how much it exactly is.

&nbsp;10 feet is about&nbsp;3.048 meters&nbsp;or&nbsp;120 inches.

Typically, U-haul trucks are used for transferring various items or for transporting your possessions from one home to another. These trucks are available in several sizes. The 10-foot truck is the smallest one available.

Photo by Alfie Huo on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/18344049/">Pexels</a>

These smaller-sized U-hauls are used for small moves. You probably saw these on the roads, stuck in traffic. If you have non food items ordered online, the chances are the delivery truck was such an example. Now next time you see a U-haul truck, you can make the estimation.

We all have spent countless hours aiming a ball toward something. For some it was the trash can and for others, a basketball hoop. I mean, who can forget shouting Kobe whenever we made the goal!? Here, we will use that memory to make the next estimation.

Photo by Wayne Howell from <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-ball-near-basketball-hoop-2529342/">Pexels</a>

According to regulations, a basketball hoop is to be placed exactly 10 feet above the ground. The stand and backboard will stand taller than 10 feet, as the backboard is about three and a half feet tall. If you saw a basketball hoop, you probably can estimate the size of 10 feet.

You have surely seen red bricks at a construction site or a brick finish house. A standard US brick is 8 inches in length. So if you can imagine 15 of them side by side along their longest side, you get a 10 feet length!

You can also check out a brick finish house to get an idea about how long 15 bricks would look. But keep in mind that you can get 10 feet only keeping bricks side by side. If there is mortar in between the bricks, the length will increase.

Another construction reference! Typically, one floor height is about 10 feet. By floor height, I mean the vertical distance from floor to the ceiling, with no false ceiling, decorations or anything such.

Photo by Pixabay&nbsp; on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/apartment-architecture-bookcase-bookshelves-271816/">Pexels</a>

In engineering, floor height is the distance from the top of floor finish of one floor to that of the next floor. But we don’t need to complicate things so much, right?

Steps ladders are a common household object. They come in different sizes for various uses. The ten feet tall ladders are the most common ones. I mean, you probably have a ladder in your home. We need them to access the top part of shelves, ceilings, and other things.

If you are someone who undertakes DIY projects, then you must know the importance of them. Just picture the ladder, and that’s about 10 feet. I am thinking about my step ladder while writing this article for <a href="https://www.measurementof.com/" target="_blank">the Measurement Of</a> site!

One of the most iconic symbols of the holiday season is the Christmas tree with lush branches adorned with sparkling lights and ornaments. These majestic evergreens bring warmth and cheer to homes, creating a festive atmosphere.

Christmas trees can be found in different sizes, including the typical 10 feet tall ones. These are usually used for <a href="https://www.balsamhill.com/inspiration/how-to-choose-the-right-christmas-tree-height" target="_blank">public display</a> and indoor spaces that have a vaulted ceiling. Ten-foot-tall artificial Christmas trees are common in stores, but you may also find real ones of that size.

Sure, this is not an everyday item. But with all the phrases and notions, alligators do come up in our conversations more often than they should. An alligator can be anywhere between 3 to 13 feet. Larger ones that can go above 13 feet are a rare sight.

Adult female alligators in Florida are usually about 9 feet long. According to the <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/reptiles/facts/american-alligator" target="_blank">National Geographic</a>, an American male alligator is about 10 to 15 feet in length on average. So, while taking notes, you need to be mindful of the type of alligator! Alligators may be a fun measurement to guess how big 10 feet is, but it is not the best object if you are not an expert in this field.

Here are some fun facts that nobody asked for:&nbsp;

Remember those races in movies where a group of people competes in their canoe-like boat by paddling? That is called kayaking, and the boat like vehicles are kayaks. Kayaks are boats created for paddling and rafting around lakes or rivers. You will find these in different sizes depending on the number of seats and brands.

But the most popular recreational kayak is ten feet long. These are mostly used for relaxation in calm rivers and lakes. Other kayaks, which are for heavier use, can be between 12 to 23 feet long. If you ever visit docks, you will see different kayaks mounted on boats’ or yachts’ roofs or placed in the corner. You can draw an estimation from them as well.

Pools are the best, especially for swimming in the hot days of summer. Sipping your margarita in your floaties in a pool is the ultimate “me time”! But few of us are fortunate enough to get that pool. For us, the above-ground pool is the way to go.

Photo by Juan Salamanca on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/green-inflatable-floatie-61136/">Pexels</a>

They don’t need any permits or construction and the best part is they are cheap. These pools are available in different sizes. But the 10 feet ones are most common among the small size above ground pools. These are most suited for getting drenched in water and having a great chill time in summer. For swimming, you will need a bigger size.

A 2×4 board is a lumber that measures 1.5×3.5 inches. It is like the size of a 4×10 board in length. However, the length may differ depending on the manufacturing companies. They are usually between 8 to 16 feet.

Photo by Marissa Daeger from <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/iW9iaL-gjX8">Unsplash</a>

These boards usually come from pine trees and have many uses. You can use them for constructing sheds, decks, and furniture. You can also use them to frame doors or walls or finish edges of other panels. As I said, there are a myriad of uses for them!

You can think of everyday objects that are <a href="https://www.measurementof.com/common-things-that-are-1-foot-long" target="_blank">1 feet long</a> and try hard to visualize it 10 times to estimate how long will be 10 feet. Or just remember these items mentioned here to understand the relative size easily.&nbsp;

The US quarter is an important part of our daily life, with George Washington on one side and the eagle on the other. From who will clean the bathroom this week to who will babysit the annoying little cousin, we have placed some crucial bets on them. Moreover, who can forget their indispensable importance in vending machines? 

The diameter of the quarter is 0.96 inches. We need three-fourths of the quarter’s diameter to equal 2 cm.

CDs bring back so many nostalgic memories for the 90s kids. There is nothing close to Spotify, YouTube, and others, but CDs were another emotion. To wait for days for our favorite album to launch, saving every penny from our pocket money, to finally buy the CD. Binging to it hour after hours were common ground for many. We often see CDs on Instagram reels. The way the artists transform each of our memories into an artistic showcase is truly amazing.

These CDs make a crucial point in this article. You need 10 CDs for this one. Take 10 CDs and stack them together. The total thickness of those CDs is 2 cm.

Thumbtack pins help pin notes or sheets of paper to Styrofoam or bulletin boards. You can also use them when curating your mood board. The thumbtack pins have two parts–the pin, which pokes the papers into the boards, and the head, which is a plastic with a flat end attached. These thumbtack pins come in several lengths.

However, the common ones have a pin of are about one-fourth of 1 inch. So, you need three thumbtack pins to equal 2 cm.

Pea is something we have at our home, more or less. For some people, it’s a staple. Some people (me) love eating them straight out of the pod. I mean, they do make a fun snack.

The diameter of a pea is between 7.5 to 8.5 millimeters. So, what you will do is take five peas. Eat 2 of them and put the rest side by side. The width of 2.5 peas will be equal to 2 centimeters.

From what I have seen in movies, golf is the game of aristocrats. It is a weird yet smart game. To win, you need to play as little as possible! Think about it while I go on to the size issues.

The diameter of the ball is about 1.68 inches. It cannot be smaller than this, according to the USGA Rules of Golf. Take half the golf ball’s diameter to reach the 2 cm mark.

No. 2 pencils are sheer nostalgia. We have both good and bad memories associated with them. The pencils have a lighter and softer lead that machines can detect. The higher the pencil number, the darker the lead. Want to know more? Read <a href="https://www.measurementof.com/everything-there-is-to-know-about-pencils">everything there is to know about pencils</a>!

The hexagonal of the pencil has a diameter which is equal to one-fourth of an inch. Take 3 of them, and you have 2 cm. You can place them side by side or on top of each other; you will get the same measurement.

Who doesn’t know Aspirin? If you have never had one, which is more than unusual, you probably have seen people around you take them. You have a fever, and you take an aspirin; you have a headache, and you take an aspirin. It’s a never-ending circle. And they work. Studies have shown that you can lower the risk of heart attacks with aspirin.&nbsp;

Now let’s see the size of an aspirin tablet. The diameter of an aspirin tablet is about 1.4 centimeters. Take 1.5 aspirin to reach the 2 cm mark.

The AAA battery is a standard dry-cell battery. These batteries are used in small devices like MP3 players, digital cameras, TV remote control, etc. The AAA batteries replaced the AA ones with a smaller size and increased efficiency. They have a voltage of 1.5 V.

The diameter of one AAA cell battery is about 10.5 millimeters. Put 2 AAA batteries side by side, and you have 2 cm.

Staples come in different sizes. It all comes down to how many sheets the staple can hold together. The 23/10 staple with 10-millimeter legs can hold on to 70 sheets.

The 23/6 are the standard ones. Here 6 means the legs are each 6mm long. These are the ones we often use at home and office. You need 3 of them to make 18 mm, which is close to 20 mm i.e. 2 cm.

Notepads are an important part of daily life. Be it for taking notes during classes or jotting down the office presentation timetable, and they are there. However, in this part, we will look more at their size than their importance. The thickness of a 100-page notepad is about 1.8 to 2.3 centimeters, so on average it is 2 cm.

Ending today’s list on a fun, delicious note. Skittles make an important part of Halloween. For some people, Halloween transcends normal life. A single skittle measures about 1.27 cm. So we need one and a half of them to make almost 2 cm.

A piece of life advice; always keep a packet of these to help you navigate the ups and downs of life. Trust me, it helps.

So here you go with the list of 11 things that we work with in our daily lives. Now you can use these as a reference to 2 centimeter size in addition to their regular usage.

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.

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.

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.

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.
