For an average adult, the surface area of the skin is about 19,000 square cm, and the thickness of the skin ranges from about 0.5 mm to 4 mm. To put this in perspective, an A4 page has an approximate area of 630 square cm. How many A4 pages would cover an average adult?

That's not actually true for "this page", but I know what you mean.
19,000 / 630 = about 30 sheets of A4 paper to cover an average adult's body.

An average adult's skin has a surface area of about 19,000 square cm, which is approximately equivalent to 30 A4 pages, each measuring 630 square cm. This calculation shows how significant the surface area of human skin is when compared to A4 paper. Thus, it would take around 30 A4 pages to cover an average adult's body.
