why don't you experiment?
You will find the exercise to be of practical use, mentally stimulating
and, best of all, hopefully keep you out of mischief for an hour or two. ?

...which may or may not prove to be helpful, as I don't
really know what you are actually trying to achieve. ?

The _"cm unit"_ is not recommended for coding HTML documents, instead we tend
to use _"em"_ and _"%"_
Do not confuse screen dimensions with the outside world.
If you were to use them. it would not display the width/height in cm
when measured with a hand held ruler.
If you still want to use the _"cm unit"_ then code it like this...

What’s the LARGEST area I can print from a HTML page onto A4 paper?
Let’s say I want to print a rectangle.
Can I print to the margins – the same as say a Word document?
I actually want to print other things, but need to know the borders I can stretch to.
Thanks.
