It is the side of an isolateral figure.
Multiply the length of the side by the length of the top or bottom.
Measure the length of a side in the first figure = L1. Measure the length of the corresponding side in the second figure = L2. Then, provided L1 and L2 are in the same units, the relevant ratio is L1/L2.
The depth is neither the length nor width. Length is the measurement from top to bottom, width is from side to side, and depth is from front to back.
