International standard paper sizes (used at least in Europe, England,
Australia, and probably many other places where Sun sells) are:
A4 210 mm x 297mm (8.27 in x 11.69 in)
A5 148.5mm x 210mm (5.85 in x 8.27 in) 2*A5 = 1*A4
These stationery sizes suit our copiers, printers, two- and four- ring
binders, and so on.
{Just for completeness, there is an A, B and C series of paper sizes, but
they all feature that the next smaller size is exactly half of the
preceding size, rotated 90 degrees, i.e., a linear reduction of sqrt(2)}.
