You overlooked one important detail: A0 is exactly 1 square meter, and other sizes are determined by how many times you fold the A0 paper.

I remember I used to write on a A1 paper because that's the only allowed paper to be as cheating sheet

You could probably start with A0 having 841 x 1180 (1:√2 ratio) and an area of 1 square meter. So A1 = 1/2 m2 A2 = 1/4 m2 A3 = 1/8 m2 A4 = 1/16 m2 etc So 16 sheets of A4 make AO (1m2)

you explained the ratio, not the size 👍

A0 is also exactly 1m² so everytime you go smaller, you half the area as well. There's also a second variant, B where B0 has a width of 1000mm instead.

also A0 is perfectly 1m²

And the final plot twist is that A0 is exactly 1m^2

being able to cut a4 paper into two identical pieces of paper that have the exact same proportions as the original paper is seriously so awesome

you don't answer the question... you explain the ratio but why is it that size? you can have endless formats with that ratio but why is it just that size?

that just explain the proportion, but is it that specific number? (210*297), for example why not 100*141.42?, or any other size for that matter, why is 210 is chosen?

For those wondering, a single sheet of A0 paper is exactly 1 m² big, that's why that is the baseline.
