While working in her garage, Rose wants to measure the length of a piece of string she found on a shelf. She does not have a meter stick with her, but she does have a pole that she knows is one meter (100 centimeters) long. She places the string alongside her one-meter pole as shown below: [asy]
//Setup
unitsize(1mm);

//Ruler body
pair A, B, C, D;
A = (0,5); B = (0,10); C = (100, 10); D = (100, 5);
filldraw(A--B--C--D--cycle, gray);
label("$0\mathrm{~cm}$", (0,2)); label("$100\mathrm{~cm}$", (100, 2)); label("Pole", (50, 2));

//Object (string)
pair A, B, C, D;
A = (0,11); B = (0,12); C = (22, 12); D = (22, 11);
filldraw(A--B--C--D--cycle, heavyred);
label("String", (11, 14));
[/asy]

What should Rose record as the length of the string?
