How to specify a customized paper size in r markdown

I am using R Markdown to produce a booklet with specific height and length measures. Is there a way to specify to R Markdown to produce the article in 5.5"x8.5" measures.

I saw questions asked about producing A4 size pdf here but that does not help as my measure is very specific.

Use the geometry option in the YAML (which becomes options to the geometry package in LaTeX). For example:

---
title: "Title"
author: "Me"
geometry: paperheight=8.5in,paperwidth=5.5in,margin=1in
output:
    pdf_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

## R Markdown

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting
syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more
details on using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>.
