 +The area of B series sheets is the geometric mean of successive A series sheets. B1 is between A0 and A1 in size, with an area of 0.707 m2 (​1⁄√2 m2). As a result, B0 is 1 metre wide, and other sizes of the series are a half, a quarter or further fractions of a metre wide.
 +
 +  * B5 is a relatively common choice for books
 +  * B7 is equal to the passport size ID-3 from ISO/IEC 7810
