What is the difference between length and height and width and length?
Jess13Phelps
It is mainly the orientation of the object. If I have a fancy bedspread I would measure its width and length. But, if I chose to hang it on a wall, those same measures would be referred to as length and height!

∙ 8y agoFor three-dimensional objects, height is usually the measurement from top to bottom, width is usually the measurement from side to side, and length is usually the measurement from front to back. It depends on your perspective and the position of the object (if the object is tipped onto its side, what was height becomes width or length).

How do you do area with width height and length?
You multiply the width or length by the the height.
How do you find out height width and length of a square?
You measure the height, width, and length.
Solid figures that have length width and height?
All solid figures have length, width and height and, conversely, if a figure has length, width and height then it is a solid figure.
How do you work out a square prism width and height when given volume and length?
Volume = Length x Width x Height. If the prism is square, then either Height = Width or Height = Length In the first case, Volume = Length x Width2 and so Width = sqrt(Volume/Length) and Height = Width. In the second case, Volume = Length2 x Width and so Width = Volume/Length2 and Height = Length.
What is the difference between length and width?
Length is how long or tall something is and width is how wide it is. It's sometimes fairly arbitrary which direction is the length and which is the width. But usually it's more natural to let the length be the longer direction. It's also common to talk about "width and height" instead of "length and width." In this case, height is usually vertical, and width horizontal.

How do you find the height using the length the width and the volume?
height*length*width = volume Divide both sides by length*width to find the height: height = volume divided by length*width
How do you find width when volume height and length are given?
You really should know how to answer that question.Volume = (length) x (width) x (height) .Length = (volume) / (width x height)Width = (volume) / (length x height)Height = (volume) / (length x width)
How do you do area with width height and length?
You multiply the width or length by the the height.
What is the formula for finding the length if you have the volume height and width?
volume = length*height*width Rearrange the formula: length = volume/height*width
What are the relations between 2D 3D and 4D?
2D is flat, determined by a length and a width. 3D is determined by having a length, width, and height. 4D is determined by having a length, a width, a height, and a dimension in time.

What are some similarities between surface area and volume?
Okay, there i'm Adriana and the answer is area and volume both have length x width. The difference is that volume measures with length x width x height and area with just Length x width. Hope you enjoy.www.middle/bryan.ops.org
