The area of one sheet of paper is 0.06048 square meters, mass of a single sheet of letter size printer paper is 4.8384 grams and mass of single ream of paper is 2419.2 grams.
What is grammage?
The grammage is the weight of a paper. This is expressed as the gram per square meter. Grammage is the mass per unit area of paper.
Let an office printer paper has a grammage of 80 grams per square meter.
Now a single sheet of letter size paper measure 216mm by 280mm. Thus, the dimensions of paper are,
Length=216 mm =0.216 m
Width=280 mm =0.280 m
The area of one sheet of paper in square meters is,
Area = Length x Width
Area= 0.216 x 0.280
Area=0.06048.
The mass of a single sheet of letter size printer paper is,
Mass=0.06048*80
Mass=4.8384 grams.
A single ream of paper contains 500 sheets, when the mass of one sheet is 4.8384 grams, is,
Mass (rim)=500* 4.8384
Mass (rim)=2419.2 grams
Thus, the area of one sheet of paper is 0.06048 square meters, mass of a single sheet of letter size printer paper is 4.8384 grams and mass of single ream of paper is 2419.2 grams.
