"Double" sheets are now more often called "Full", but the they refer to the same size and are often used interchangeably. Additionally, the fitted sheets are different sizes than the flat sheets.

SIZE: (WxL) FITTED - FLAT

TWIN 39 x 75" - 66 x 96" (102" long for TWIN X-LONG)

FULL: 54 x 75" - 81 x 96 "

QUEEN: 60 x 80" - 90 x 102"

KING: 76 x 80" - 108 x 102"

These measurements are for only for the USA or North America, as the sizes differ depending on areas. Also, there are slight variances from time to time, however when dealing with a fitted sheet, you want to make sure there is ample "pocket room" to fit your mattress. Since some mattresses are taller (pillow tops et al) than others, a fitted sheet may end up a little too small if you have something like a pillow top. This often results the sheet not wrapping around the bed completely, causing it to keep coming off. However usually if you buy quality sheets this is not a problem.

If two sheets of A4 sheets of paper are put side by side what is the new paper size created?

When two A4 sheets of paper are placed side by side, the new paper size created is A4 in height and double the width of A4. A standard A4 sheet measures 210 mm × 297 mm, so the combined width becomes 420 mm, resulting in a new size of 420 mm × 297 mm. This size is commonly referred to as A3 landscape orientation.
