- And if you spread all other fingers, you can also measure 60 degrees, 45 degrees, and 30 degrees with this method.
- Similarly, If you put 4 fingers together you can measure the distance of 3 ” (inches) or 8 Centimeters approximately.

And if you put 2 fingers together, you can measure the distance of 1 1/2″(inches) or 4 centimeters.
