#1. 5 Golf tees
The average golf tee is around 2 inches tall. 2.1″ to be exact. If you can picture 5 golf tees back to back, they will equal about 10 inches long.
However, not all golf tees are this size and they can range up to 4 inches long depending on the club being used.
But the most commonly used tee is just over 2 inches long.
#2. 3 Crayons
A crayon is around 3.5 inches long each. If you put 3 crayons together, they will equal around 10 inches long.
There are larger-sized crayons that are 4 inches tall and have a slightly larger diameter than standard crayons.
#3. 2 iPhone 5S
For anyone still using the iPhone 5S, you will notice that it is just under 5 inches long. Picture 2 of them together and they will equal close to 10 inches long.

The American dollar bill has the dimensions of 2.61 inches wide x 6.14 inches long.
