In Microsoft Office, how is the font size determined?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Points.
In Microsoft Office, the font size is measured in points (pt), where 1 point = 1/72 of an inch. This means that the height of the characters in a font is determined based on this point system. A font size of 12 pt means the characters are approximately 12/72 of an inch (or 1/6 of an inch) in height. A font size of 72 pt makes the text about 1 inch tall. The font size represents the distance from the top of the tallest letter (e.g., capital "T") to the bottom of the lowest letter (e.g., "g" with a descender).
