    Wrong

    It's half twice it's length

    A good question all the same. How many people ask you to make a book case that is a good height not too wide but tall enough to take all their books?

    How do you know it isn't 3,405mm wide and only a few mm long?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Damn Skew ChiDAMN!! DAMN!!

    I just remeasured it and you are correct. Sneaky bit of string turned sideways. OK, a piece of string is now EXACTLY 3.792mm long by 3,405 mm wide.
