Not necessarily. Consider this diagram I drew up: http://myurl.me/h375k6 Since when calculating the area of an object, the formula is simple multiplication (a=b•h), the communicative property of multiplication states that whether you have b•h or a•h, the end value will be the same, so it does not matter which side is considered the width.
What else can I help you with?
Which side is the width in a shape?
Either side, normally the horizontal side when looking at it.
What is the longer side the length or the width?
Conventionally, length is the bigger of the two.
What are the length width and height of a shape?
They are: Length x Height + Length x Width + Height x Width Or: LxH + LxW +HxW and then youl will get the answer of the shape. The length is the tom part of the shape the width is the side and the night is the length from top to bottom.
How do you measure width is it from left to right or top to bottom?
Width refers to the base of a geometric shape. Height is from top to bottom, while length and width, which are interchangable, are strictly side to side on the bottom.
What the volume of a shape with the side at 9.4 and the width 4 and the height of 8.5?
319.6
A wire is first bent into the shape of a rectangle with width and length Then the wire is unbent and reshaped into a square What is the length of a side of the square?
(width side of the rectangle + length side of the rectangle) divided by 2
What shape would be the side view of a cylinder?
A rectangle. If the cylinder has the same height as its width, the side view would be a square.
What do you call the length of a side of a shape?
There are only three spacial terms and they are: length, width, and depth.
Is the area of a hexagon with a side of 9 bigger than the area of a square with a side of the same size?
Yes, imagine a square, its area is 9x9, however the hexagon is (9 + 2*(a fraction of 9)) squared. It is longer because the extra sides increase the width and height of the shape.
Are base and width the same thing?
In geometry, the base and width are not necessarily the same thing. The base of a shape, such as a triangle or a trapezoid, is typically the side on which the shape rests. The width, on the other hand, is a measurement of how wide the shape is, usually perpendicular to the base. While the base can be considered a type of width, they are not interchangeable terms in all geometric contexts.
What is the difference between length and breadth?
A rectangular shape has a long side (length) and a breadth (width, short side). A square still has a length and width, though both are the same measurement to form a square.
Does width mean side to side?
Width does mean side to side.
