    How long is 80 centimetres?

    Rather than leaving 80 centimetres as an abstract number, these examples translate it into familiar scale.

    80-Centimetre Distance Comparisons

    • For scale, 80 centimetres is about 52% of the width of a table-tennis table.

      The comparison uses the published dimension, converted into the same unit before the proportion is calculated.

    • Measured against the long side of an A4 sheet, 80 centimetres spans about 2.7 times that reference.

      The comparison uses the published dimension, converted into the same unit before the proportion is calculated.

    • Measured against the diameter of a standard compact disc, 80 centimetres spans about 6.7 times that reference.

      Using the source measurement of 12 centimetres, this comparison puts the target at 6.7 of it.

    • Measured against the short side of an A6 sheet, 80 centimetres spans about 7.6 times that reference.

      Its published measurement is 10.5 centimetres; the ratio is calculated from that figure.

    • 80 centimetres is approximately 31.5 inches.

      Using the exact conversion that 1 centimetre equals exactly 0.3937007874 inches, the unrounded result is 31.496 inches.

    Reference measurements are rounded where appropriate, and naturally variable objects are described as approximate, typical, or maximum sizes.
