Length can be measured either way. The actual definition of length is the longest dimension.
A shape that is two units horizontal and three units vertical will have a length of 3, and in this case, the length is measured vertical. At the same time, a shape that is three units horizontal and two units vertical will also have a length of 3, but in this case, the length is measured horizontal.
Many people make the mistake of thinking that length is always horizontal or always vertical. This is incorrect, however. The easiest way to see that this is false is to rotate the shape 90 degrees; this causes the length to change to what was before the width, and as such, length is not consistent, even though the shape is the same. Length is always the longest dimension. As such, width is always the dimension that makes a (two-dimensional) right angle with the length. This will always just be the other dimension in two-dimensional objects.
Nevada's horizontal width and vertical length is ...
The aspect ratio of a computer monitor or a television screen is its horizontal length divided by its vertical length, both measured in the same units.
The operation in which we measure our desired vertical length and horizontal length with measuring tools (for example;scale,tri-square,vernier calliper, screw gauge,etc. ) and mark that measured vertical length and horizontal length by marking tools for example;scriber, etc. on our metal piece, is called measuring and marking operation.
This ellipse is centered at the origin and has a horizontal axis of length 26 and a vertical axis of length 12 What is its equation?
If one of the two variables is independent (or explanatory) then it goes on the horizontal axis. Otherwise you do whatever you like.

Length is the horizontal measurement and the vertical one is height. If there are 2 horizontal ones then length is the longer one, and the other one is breadth, or width.
The horizontal component of velocity for a projectile is not affected by the vertical component. They are independent of each other. The horizontal velocity remains constant as long as there are no external forces acting on the projectile.
"Up and down" is vertical. Side to side (or across) is horizontal. An easy way to remember this is "horizontal" runs like the horizon. The vertical measurment is usually referred to as the height. The length would be the horizontal measurement.
