The old Imperial ruler was one foot long. To enable pupils to carry one in their "pencil box", a version that was half as long was introduced. 1 foot = 30.48 cm so rulers are graduated to 30 cm or half that length (= 15 cm).
Each yardstick measures 3 feet. Two yardsticks is 6 feet. One 12-inch ruler is one foot. Laid end to end, this makes 7 feet.
Well, honey, a standard ruler is typically 12 inches long, which is equivalent to 1 foot. So, an object that is 2 feet long would be something like a yardstick or a baseball bat. Just make sure you don't go around swinging that thing indoors, unless you're looking to redecorate with some broken vases.
