Printed letters are measured in units called points, is equal to 1/72 inch. If your want the printed title of your project to be 1/4 inch tall - what point size should you use?

Step 1: Understand the conversion between points and inches. The problem states that 1 point is equal to (1)/(72) inch. Step 2: Identify the desired height in inches. You want the printed title to be (1)/(4) inch tall. Step 3: Calculate the required point size. To find out how many points are in (1)/(4) inch, we can set up a proportion or multiply the desired height by the inverse of the conversion factor (since 1 inch = 72 points). Point size = Desired height in inches ÷ ((1)/(72) inch per point) Point size = (1)/(4) inch × 72 points1 inch Point size = (1)/(4) × 72 Point size = (72)/(4) Point size = 18 You should use a point size of 18. The point size you should use is 18 points. Got more? Send 'em.
