21cm is close to 20 which means A5 has a side close to 10.
29.7 is close to 30. So why not use A4 sheets to install kitchen cabinets? A friend of mine advised me to buy a laser level. A tiny level was quite enough. A laser meter is nice though although I don't understand why it's inaccurate sometimes. Maybe it depends on the surface matter/paint.
I always liked the Japanese idea of measuring room size by the number of tatami mats.
Fun fact: tatami mats are slightly smaller in Tokyo than in other parts of Japan.
Reminds me of older recipes that will say things like "can of tuna" or "can of beans" but what that means has changed somewhat.
