Paper sizes and weights
It all fits together: This is due to the format of the paper which is based on a rectangle with the exact surface area of a square metre. The sides of the rectangle relate to each other in the same way as the sides of a square to its diagonal.
(Peter Walther: "Beim Halbieren bleibt das Verhältnis von Länge zu Breite gleich", (When halved, the relationship between length and width remains the same) in: "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", 12 August 1997, pg. T 1.)

For sizes which are not included in the table the weight can be calculated in grams with the following rule-of-thumb formula:
width in mm x height in mm x paper weight g/sqm x 2.5 : 1,000,000
Note: Printing inks and variations in paper moisture content are not taken into account.
