Two methods:
Draw a straight line using a straight edge
Mark one point on it
Set a pair of compasses to 6cm
With the point on the mark, draw another mark with the compasses on the line.
The line between the two marks is a line segment of 6cm.
Using a rule marked in cm draw a straight line between the 0cm and 6cm marks along its edge.

To draw a line that is 2.4 centimeters, take a ruler with metric measurements and start your line at zero. Stop drawing until you get to the fourth line past the 2 centimeters mark. The line you will have drawn will be 2.4 centimeters.
