Length, Height and Distance
Length answers the question “How long?”
Width answers the question “How wide?”
Height answers the question “How high?” or “How tall?”
Distance answers the question “How far?”
We use the same unit of measure to compare lengths, widths, heights and distances accurately.
The length, width, and height of small objects are measured in centimeters.
We write cm for centimeter.
The length, width, and height of large objects, and long distances are measured in meters.
We write m for meter.
