Two strands?
Two strands can run million of angstroms long and can have billions of nucleotides.
Here's some facts which will answer your question:
DNA is in the form of a double helix structure with anti parallel strands (strands running in opposite directions).
The rungs made of nitrogenous bases connect the strands and there's one rung for each nucleotide.
One turn of the spiral is known as gyre. Each gyre is at a distance of 34 angstroms (I.e. 34 * 10^-10 metres)
The distance between two consecutive bases is 3.4 angstroms
I.E. Each gyre (34 A)contains ten rungs ie ten nucleotides.
This means there are 10 nucleotides in every 34 angstroms.
Note if you have the length of one strand it is simple multiplication.
Hope this answers your question.
