Measured against the short side of an A2 sheet, 171 centimetres spans about 4.1 times that reference.
Its published measurement is 42 centimetres; the ratio is calculated from that figure.
For scale, 171 centimetres is about 4.1 times the long side of an A3 sheet.
Using the source measurement of 42 centimetres, this comparison puts the target at 4.1 of it.
171 centimetres is approximately 67.3 inches.
Using the exact conversion that 1 centimetre equals exactly 0.3937007874 inches, the unrounded result is 67.323 inches.
Reference measurements are rounded where appropriate, and naturally variable objects are described as approximate, typical, or maximum sizes.
