Here's a breakdown:
* Standard sheet: Typically 8.5 inches by 11 inches (letter size in the US)
* Half sheet: Measures 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches (half the length of a standard sheet).
It's often used for:
* Printing: For documents that don't need the full size of a standard sheet.
* Folding: Can be folded in half to create a smaller, more manageable format.
* Crafts: Used for smaller projects, like origami or card making.
