on the left and right is the lengh, and on the top and bottom is the width
That previous answer (above) makes no sense whatsoever.
A short dictionary definition for length is "the longest dimension of something that is fixed in space". Therefore, with a 2-dimensional rectangle, when the sides are not labeled, and no other instructions are given, the LENGTH of the figure is ALWAYS going to be the LONGEST side, while the width is the shorter side. But some people incorrectly assume the LENGTH of a rectangle is always going to be the HORIZONTAL side. This is because most of the time, when a 2-dimensional rectangle is presented on paper, the length is nearly always placed on the horizontal anyway. So, unless all the terms are clearly defined or otherwise noted, ALWAYS assume the LONGEST side is the length.
