32 centimeters is equivalent to 12.59 inches.
To put this measurement into perspective, here are some comparisons to known objects of similar size:
1. The average length of a standard ruler is approximately 12 inches, so 32 centimeters is slightly longer than a standard ruler.
2. The length of a regular sheet of US letter paper is 11 inches, so 32 centimeters is slightly longer than a sheet of paper.
3. The average diameter of a basketball is between 9.43 to 9.51 inches, so 32 centimeters is about 3 inches longer than a basketball’s diameter.
4. The length of an average banana is approximately 7 inches, so 32 centimeters is almost double the length of a banana.
5. The average length of a dinner plate is around 10 inches, so 32 centimeters is slightly longer than the diameter of a dinner plate.
Overall, 32 centimeters may not seem very long, but it is around a foot in length, making it longer than some commonly used objects.
