The length is the longest dimension, so that would be 30", therefore the width would be 20". See the reference for more information. Now if the poster hangs with the 30" side horizonally, you can call that the width, but then you'd have to call the other dimension the "height", not the "length." Also : In construction the width always comes before the height.

What length width and height is 62 linear inches?
Because it is simply a linear measurement it has one dimension. Therefore it has no width or height.
The width of a rectangle is one half its length The perimeter of the rectangle is 54cm What are the width and length of the rectangle?
The length of the rectangle is 18cm. The width of the rectangle is 9cm.
What is the length and width if the perimeter is 352 and the length is 10 times the width?
Length Plus width = half of perimeter = 176. Width is one-eleventh of this and length is ten-elevenths ie 16 and 160 respectively.
The area of the square is 17 inches squared choose the correct length of one side?
The area for a four sided shape is length * width = area.We have the area at 17. We know that length = width. We designated length and width as x. Our new equation isx * x = 17, or x2 = 17.Now we have to isolate x.x = sqrt(17).Solving for x, we get x = 4.123.
What means length is equal to one and a half times width?
L=1.5w It means that there is always a constant ratio, which is 1 1/2 between the length and the width. So if you know the dimension of either one, you can calculate the dimension of the other. Example: Suppose that the width = 10. Now you can calculate that the length = 15. Second example: What is the width if the length is 45? Now use the relationship given to calculate that the width is 30.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 12 inches the length is one inch longer then the width what are the dimensions?
Length = 3.5 inches and Width = 2.5 inches Check: 2(3.5+2.5) = 12 inches
What is the width of a CD?
The width of a CD case is five inches. The length, in case you are wondering, is 4.75 inches. This is the length and width of an average CD case. Some might be a little different, but this is the one most commonly used.
The length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than twice its width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 54 inches find the width of the rectangle?
Do-it-in-your-head method: Length + width is half the perimeter which is 27 inches; 27 minus 6 is 21 and one-third of 21 is 7 which is the width. (Length = 2 x 7 + 6 = 20)
What length width and height is 62 linear inches?
Because it is simply a linear measurement it has one dimension. Therefore it has no width or height.
If the area of a rectangle is 18 square inches and the length of the rectangle is twice it's width what is the length and width of the rectangle?
A rectangle with one side that is double the length of the other side can be seen as two squares beside each other, that are half the area of the original rectangle, in this case 18 square inches / 2 = 9 square inches. The side of a square is the square root of the area, in this case the square root of 9 square inches, which is 3 inches. Now think about the rectangle again. What we just counted was the side of a square that made up one half of the rectangle you wanted to calculate the area of. So the shorter side of the rectangle is the same as our square, and the longer side is double the length. So the width of the rectangle is 3 inches, and the length is 2 * 3 inches = 6 inches. Or: Area = length x width (A=lw) Area = 18 (in2) Width = w Length = twice width (2w) 18 = (2w)w 18 = 2w2 9 = w2 3 = w The width is 3 in., the length (2w) is 6 in.
The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than twice its width its area is 65 inches sq find the length and width of the rectangle?
Length= 3 + 2W Area [65]= L x W You can use guess and check put plugging in 1,2,3... etc to do this one. I got Length= 13 and Width= 5 5 x 13 = 65
How to convert the length and width to yards?
You cannot convert length nor width to yards. The length and width need t be measured in some units such as inches, feet, miles, metres, etc. You can convert from one unit of length to another using an appropriate conversion factor.
If the width of the rectangle is 3 inches what is the area?
What is the length of the rectangle? If you had said one of the sides of a square was 3 inches, you could multiply 3 inches by 3 inches to get the value in square inches.Area = 3l square inches, where l = length of the rectangle in inches.
What length will fabric be from one yard?
The length will be one yard. The width will be the other dimension from woven/knit edge to woven/knit edge.
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a box is?
Volume = (width x height) x length. For example take a cube with a height, width and length of six inches. First get the area of one side (6 x 6) which gives you 36 square inches. Then multiply by the length (36 x 6) which gives you 216 cubic inches and the volume of the cube.
How many inches make up a square inch?
A square inch is a measure of area. The area could have any shape but for simplicity consider squares and rectangles where the area is given by the product of length and width, lxw. The length and the width are linear measurements. You can assign any values you want to the length and width and their product will be an area. A square with sides of 1 inch will have an area of one square inch. A rectangle whose length is 2 inches and width 1/2 inch will also have an area of one square inch.
The width of a rectangle is one half its length the perimeter of the rectangle is 54 cm what are the width and length of the rectangle?
width=9 length=18
