What are the dimensions of a metric "2 by 4" (a piece of wood 1 1/2 in by 3 1/2 in) in centimeters?
The dimensions of a metric "2 by 4" piece of wood (1 1/2 in by 3 1/2 in) can be converted to centimeters as follows:
1 inch = 2.54 cm
Width: 1 1/2 in = 1.5 in = 1.5 * 2.54 cm = 3.81 cm
Length: 3 1/2 in = 3.5 in = 3.5 * 2.54 cm = 8.89 cm
Therefore, the dimensions in centimeters are approximately 3.81 cm by 8.89 cm.
