When using a measuring tape when finding perimeter or area take the measurements to one decimal place(easier number interpretation)for accurate calculation especially when multiplying.

Can be confusing but you did help clarify

[@MathwithMrJ]

Yes, it definitely can be confusing. The answer isn't very clear cut. Thanks for watching👍👍✌️✌️

[@hectormiguel9201]

Thank you very much but, according to ISO ( International Standards Organization) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute ) it should be not more ambiguous and arbitrary. It was confusing in the past times and for some regions, now it is diferent. Now Not matter from wich point of view we are looking at one object the longest measure of that object should be the length. It might be located at our front side or; left, right, top, bottom, vertical, horizontal, oblique etc. May be for some mathematician certain calculations requires the proper assumption of wich is length and width.

[@Chrio_Cee]

What if a rectangular colored paper is 6 centimeters long and it's width is the same as the lenght of the side of a square bond paper?

Bro thank you 🙏

[@desitjung3048]

Nice, this is helpful

[@Briellew_99]

I just made up my own thing to make it easier , so the letter "L" in length means, "Longest Side". So everytime the longest side comes up on a rectangle i just call tht one length n the other one then has to be width.

[@fefoghouse5944]

Very helpfull with my ged

[@uniquehall1004]

...ok..

[@afiqalbawah4039]

which is the conventional formula... length x width x height?

So how much ft of board that equal to

Ty I’m doing a test today for this stuff and I was rlly scared

[@aditimishra6515]

And how we will identify if all the sides are equal???

[@MathwithMrJ]

Great question! Both the length and width are equal, so in my opinion, the length and width are interchangeable in that situation unless otherwise specified.

[@aditimishra6515]

Thaks you sir😀😀

[@edwinjangao]

well in the first place. When you measure a 2 dimentsional object, you use width and height. Length should be used in 3 dimensional object.

[@edwinjangao]

Length isnt applicable in 2 dimensional object. Its width x height in 2d. In 3d, its length, height and width.

[@user-zy8kr2zy5s]

So how do we find length in 3rd object and can u clear what's length and width cz length is supposed to be vertical and width is horizontal

[@Lionofjudah308]

Dead on 👍🏼

[@rohitarora4266]

I’m architect & I use LxW but my senior told me it’s WxL

[@edwinjangao]

No your wrong, its width x height. See your autocad software. If your an architect, you should have known these.
