A standard sheet of paper is 8.5 inches wide and 11 inches high, but it’s possible that the actual measurements could be closer to 8.4999 and 11.0001 inches. Even if we measure something very carefully, with very sensitive instruments, we should assume that there could be some small measurement error.
