It has been a long time since high school and I do not remember how to convert mm to inches. Could you please tell me what this would convert to in inches? 210 X 254 mm.

Thank you very much,
Paul

Hi Paul,
I believe that one inch is now DEFINED to be 25.4 mm.

 
  Thus 210 mm = 210/25.4 = 8.26772 in
254 mm = 254/25.4 = 10 in		  
  and 210 x 254 mm^2 = 82.6772 sq. in.  
 

Cheers
Chris
