A pencil with one pinted end and one flat end, will have two sides (as the pointed end is all one surface), PLUS however many sides the body of the pencil has - in this case six, so the total willl be 8.
A standard hexagonal #2 pencil is a hexagonal height of 1/4 inch (6mm) with the outer diameter is about 9/32 inch or 7mm. A #2 pencil is 7.5 inches long (19 centimeters).
The number of sides on a standard pencil is six. Down near the tip of a standard pencil, it is shaped like a hexagon, which is a six-sided polygon.

Theoretically, the a number 2 pencil can write an infinite number of words. The number 2 in the number 2 pencil actually indicates how hard the graphite is. For more information, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil_hardness#Grading_and_classification
Typical Typically-sized pencil under a ruler. A standard, hexagonal, "#2 pencil" is cut to a hexagonal height of 1⁄4-inch (6 mm), but the outer diameter is slightly larger (about 9⁄32-inch (7 mm)).[
A #2 pencil will usually have the number 2 on the barrel, near the eraser end.
1 and a half centimeters tall and a centimeter long.
The "number 2" designation refers to the "hardness" of the lead. The higher the number, the "harder" The "7mm" designation refers to the "thickness" of the lead. The higher the number, the thicker. They are not the same pencil.
