Difference between Length and Height

 Difference between length and height is very precise, as length denotes how long shape is and height denotes how tall it is. Length is the horizontal measurement in a plane whereas height is the vertical measurement.

The two confusing terms in geometrical measures are the length and height. Most of the times people get confused with these terms which leads to the wrong solution for the problem. Both the measures height and length can be expressed in terms such as meters, inches, feet and so on. Go through the below comparison chart to differentiate the dimensions such as length and height and understand it in a better way.

Length: 

• The measurement of an object from one point to another.
• It is measured in the most-extended dimension.
• Is a measurement in the horizontal axis.
• The length determines how long an object is.
• Can be one, two or three-dimensional object.
• Line, square, rectangle, cube, etc.

Height: 

• Height measures an object from the top to bottom
• It measures in the dimension that would be up in any orientation.
• Is a measurement in the vertical axis.
• Height determines how high the object takes base as a reference.
• Is usually measured for 3-dimensional objects.
• Cube, cylinder, etc.
