When measuring the length of the pencil, it is not a must that we start from the zero mark.
This question shows that we can even use a broken ruler to measure the length of object.
To get the length of the object, we subtract the initial reading from the final reading.
The length of the pencil = 12.1 - 2.0
= 10.1 cm
∴The pencil measures 10.1 cm
