Mathematically you can call the short side width and long side length or you can call the short side length and long side width. In practice, usually we specify the width is shorter than the length.

∙ 8y agoNo, not necessarily! In fact, much of the time, the length of an object usually longer the width of it. For examples, consider what you know just by seeing them of these LxW objects:
- a standard door - taller than the width
- a coffee table - longer than the width
- a dining room table - longer than the width
- a refrigerator - taller than it is wide
- a waste paper basket - taller than it is wide
- a regular sized auto (car) - longer than it''s width
- even a ruler used to measure inches and feet is longer than it is wide

What is the difference between length and width?
Length is how long or tall something is and width is how wide it is. It's sometimes fairly arbitrary which direction is the length and which is the width. But usually it's more natural to let the length be the longer direction. It's also common to talk about "width and height" instead of "length and width." In this case, height is usually vertical, and width horizontal.
Why does length width and height equal volume?
A square has width and height. Width is the horizontal line, height is the vertical line. This is a two-dimensional object and has an area.A cube is a square with one more dimension, length, which makes it a three dimensional object. As a three-dimensional object, it no longer has an area, but now has volume.To find the area of a cube (a three-dimensional object), one must multiply three dimensions (length, width, and height) to obtain the volume of the cube.
What is the width and length of a rectangle if the perimeter is 50 and the length is 5 cm more than the width?
Perimeter = 2 lengths and 2 widths In your case length + width = 25cm If length is 5cm more than width then length = 15cm and width = 10cm
The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width The perimeter is 34 meters what is the length and the width?
width=5 length=12
If the perimeter of a rectangle is 58m and length is 2m more than twice the width what is length and width?
Length = 20 m and width = 9 m
The perimeter of a rectangle is 30 inches if the length is more than the width what is the width?
You don't have enough information to find the exact length of the width, but the width has to be less then 7.5 if it smaller then the length.
How do you find the length and width of a rectangle?
the length of a rectangle is 8 more than the width. the area os 345 centimeters. find the length and width of the rectangle
Find the length of a rectangular lot with a perimeter of 82m if the length is 5 m more than the width?
OK so we have two formulas: Length = width + 5 (since legth is 5 more than width) length + width + length + width = perimeter= 82 (form. for perm.) so we can replace every instance of "length" with "width + 5" since they are the same. width + 5 + width + width + 5 + width = 82 4xwidth + 10 = 82 4X width = 72 width = 23 so now go back and replace "width" with 23. length = 23 + 5 length = 28 There you go.
The perimeter of a certain rectangle is 16 times the width The length is 12 cm more than the width Find the lenghth and width of the rectangle?
Let the width of rectangle is w cm (Length is 12 cm more) so length is w + 12 Perimeter = 16 times of width 2 (length + width) = 16 * width Rest of the homework, do yourself.
What is the width if the length is 72?
The width could be virtually anything. If you are wanting to find out how to calculate width, you need to have more information in addition to length.
The perimeter of a standard- sized rectangular rug is 94 ft the length is 3 ft more than the width Find the length and the width?
The perimeter of a standard- sized rectangular rug is 94 ft. the length is 3 ft more than the width. Find the length and the width.
The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than its width and its perimeter is 22 inches Find the width of the rectangle?
Perimeter = length + width + length + width = 2 x (length + width) Given: perimeter = 22in length = width + 3in Thus 22 = 2 x (width + 3 + width) 11 = 2 x width + 3 8 = 2 x width 4 = width So the width is 4in.
