What dimensions of an object can be measured?

The dimensions of an object are: length, width, and height.

Example

Tip

To differentiate length from width, think of the “l” in length and the “l” in long. The length is always the longest side.

Examples:

Examples of the Lengths and Widths of Rectangles
