Measure it to find out how long your own piece of string is. A piece is a piece is a piece.
No such thing as half a piece, unless a restaurant cuts pies into servings, then if you say half a piece, you mean half of their pre-cut portion. That's really a slice, too, but lots of people call it a piece. A slice is still a piece. Otherwise, a piece is a piece is a piece.
If it's long enough, some people call that a "length" of string.
BTW, I didn't give the thumbs down to the person who said something about half a piece.

FIDGETY: Are you an actuary? I almost said the same thing!

Fold the string so both ends touch, and stretch it as taut as you can.
Then measure it. It is twice as long as from the middle to the ends.
You appear to need a hobby.

A piece of string is however long you cut it.

that's easy to answer, take the said string , start measuring from one end an stop at the other, and you find that it's as long as it needs to be.
God bless,

a piece of string is shorter than an endless line of string.

How big is a "piece" of pie on a chart. A PIECE...will always be...a piece...regardless of size. As long as it's less than the original whole.

As long as it needs to be to get from one end of it to another.
