Well, honey, in the world of measurements, length usually comes before width. It's like asking if the chicken or the egg came first - you gotta have a starting point! So, when you're sizing something up, remember to measure that length first before you worry about the width.

It doesn't matter.
Either doesn't really matter.
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.
Width should always be first.
perimeter = length + length + width + width = 2*length + 2*width = 36 length = 5*width 2*(5*width) + 2*width = 36 12*width = 36 width = 3 length = 15
