The standard letter paper size in the United States is 8.5 by 11 inches. Here are some additional key details about letter paper size dimensions:
- This size is also known as US Letter or simply Letter.
- The paper is oriented in portrait mode, so the shorter side is across the top and bottom.
- The paper has an aspect ratio of 1:1.294, meaning that it is slightly longer than it is wide.
- Letter size paper is widely used in business settings for writing letters, printing documents, and creating reports.
- It is compatible with many printers, copiers, and scanners, making it a convenient choice for everyday use.
- Some other countries, such as Canada, Mexico, and the Philippines, also use this paper size. However, many other regions use A4 paper size, which is slightly different in dimensions.
- When folded in thirds, a standard letter size sheet becomes a #10 envelope, which is often used for business correspondence.
