Q - question

Standard paper size formats.
A - answer Standard paper formats are used for printing - the most widely used are the formats A (A0-A10) and B (B0-B10) - and the format line C (envelopes, C0-C10).

The format series "A" (ISO 216, DIN 476, ANSI/ASME Y14.1m-1995) begins on the size A0 with the area of 1m2. The aspect ratio of its sides (height/width) is the square root of 2 (ã2, 1.4141).

The sizes of the "B"-line are geometric mean of the same and the nearest higher format of the A line. The sizes of the "C"-line are geometric mean of the same formats from the A- and B-lines.

The sizes of the A- and B-formats (in mm) are following:
