∙ 12y agoIt does not matter, as long as you label them correctly. However, generally speaking
Length is either the longest side or the one that is horizontal.
Height is vertical
Width is whichever is left.

A rectangle has only two dimensions, for example, length and width. The longest side is usually called the length, the other side, the width.
The width and length of a rectangle are two of its main dimensions. The width is the measurement of the shorter side of the rectangle, while the length is the measurement of the longer side. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the width by the length.
You multiply the length by the width by the height. Multiply side 1 by side 2 by side 3.
The width of a rectangle is the length of the shorter side.
(width side of the rectangle + length side of the rectangle) divided by 2
The length is the linear measurement of one side of the rectangle (usually the longest) and the width is the linear measurement of the other side of the rectangle (usually the shortest). In a square, both the length and the width would be the same.
Most commonly, the longer side is the length.
you divide the area by the length and you have the other side
The volume of ANY solid with linear sides is calculated in the same way. LENGTH x WIDTH x DEPTH! volume of the liquid = (length X breadth X height) of the rectangular box length x width x height = volume 12 inches x 6 inches x 8 inches = 576 cubic inches
The perimeter of any rectangle is [ 2 x (length + width) ]. Since the length and width of a square are equal, the perimeter of a square is also [ 2 x (side + side) ] = (4 x side).
you find the length and width by counting the numbers on the side to find the width and counting the numbers going across to find the length
Base times height. Or, the length of one side times the length of a side *next to it*, rather than across from it. OMG. You should no that no offense but i even lerned that in third grade and I'm 11 but a rectangle's length time it's width is it's area
