Paper is 3-dimensional because it has length, width, and thickness. The thickness is difficult to measure without special measuring instruments; it is usually specified as a weight instead of a thickness. A 500 sheet thick ream of 20 pound paper, the standard North American 8 1/2" by 11" typing or computer printing paper, is approximately 2 7/16" thick, so a single sheet of has a thickness of slightly less than 0.005" (5/1000").
