Length vs Height Example
Let us consider the cuboidal box given below. In this box, the distance between one point to another in base surface is its length. We can observe from the figure that length is the longest dimension of box.
The distance which is measured along vertical axis which is not the longest side is called its height.
Difference between Length and Height
Length measures how long something is while Height measures how tall something is. Length is measured from one end to the other end in a horizontal direction while height is measured in a vertical direction.
Let’s understand the key difference between length and height.
