How will you correct your measurement if the first 1 cm of your ruler is cut off?
Proceed with the measurement accordingly since 1 cm is very negligible.
Start measuring at the 2-cm mark then subtract 1 cm from the final measurement.
Use a more precise measuring device such as a micrometer caliper.
Use another measuring device with complete scale divisions.
