Measured against the width of a table-tennis table, 170 centimetres spans about 1.1 times that reference.
Its published measurement is 152.5 centimetres; the ratio is calculated from that figure.
170 centimetres is about 2.9 times the long side of an A2 sheet.
Using the source measurement of 59.4 centimetres, this comparison puts the target at 2.9 of it.
170 centimetres is about 2.2 times the height of a regulation table-tennis table.
Its published measurement is 76 centimetres; the ratio is calculated from that figure.
Measured against the short side of an A1 sheet, 170 centimetres spans about 2.9 times that reference.
The comparison uses the published dimension, converted into the same unit before the proportion is calculated.

170 centimetres is approximately 66.9 inches.
Using the exact conversion that 1 centimetre equals exactly 0.3937007874 inches, the unrounded result is 66.929 inches.
Reference measurements are rounded where appropriate, and naturally variable objects are described as approximate, typical, or maximum sizes.
