The correct Answer is:
To determine the thickness of the page on which you are writing, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Units of Measurement We need to compare the thickness of a page with different units of measurement. Common units include: - Angstrom (1 Å = 10^-10 meters) - Micrometer (1 µm = 10^-6 meters) - Millimeter (1 mm = 10^-3 meters) - Centimeter (1 cm = 10^-2 meters) ### Step 2: Analyze the Thickness of a Page A typical page thickness is not extremely small, so we can eliminate the smallest units: - An angstrom is too small to be relevant for a page thickness. - A micrometer is also too small for our purposes. ### Step 3: Compare with Larger Units Next, we consider larger units: - A centimeter is too thick for a page; a page would not be that thick. - A millimeter is a more reasonable estimate for the thickness of a page. ### Step 4: Estimate the Thickness Through common knowledge and experience, the thickness of a standard sheet of paper is approximately: - 0.1 mm (which is equal to 0.01 cm). ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the thickness of the page on which you are writing is in the order of **0.1 mm**. ---
