A standard sheet of paper in Europe is 21.0 cm wide and 29.7 cm long. Which has the greater area, the standard sheet of paper in the United States or the standard sheet of paper in Europe?

1 in = 2.54 cm

Part (a)

8.268 in

Part (b)

11.693 in

Part (c)

In SI units standard-sized paper is 21.0 cm by  29.7 cm, which is equivalent to 8.268 in by 11.693 in.

8.268 in by 11.693 in.

Part (d)

U.S sized standard paper is 8.0 in by  11.0 in. Therefore the SI (internationally) sized paper is longer.

Part (e)

If the U.S> adopts the SI standard for letter-sized paper, both the width and length of standard paper will have to be increased. Therefore letter-sized paper will occupy a larger area and will be heavier if the thickness and density do not change.
