The following formulas for paper folding were discovered by Britney Gallivan in 2001 when she was a high school junior. The first formula determines the minimum width, W, of a square piece of paper of thickness T needed to fold it in half

Notebook paper is approximately 0.004 in. thick. Using the formula for the width W, determine how wide a square piece of notebook paper would need to be to successfully fold it in half 13 times, alternating horizontal and vertical folds.
