उत्तर

The thickness of a sheet of paper can roughly be determined by measuring the height of a stack of paper. 

Example: Let us consider a stack of 100 sheets of paper. We will use a ruler to measure its height. In order to determine the thickness of a sheet of paper, we will divide the height of the stack with the number of sheets (i.e., 100).
