why is the height of a body and the length of a body is different???
Answers
Lets start with dimensions :
Three dimensional body
This has length , breadth and height . Eg: cube
_____________________________________
Two dimensional body
This only has length , breadth and height = 0 . Eg: square
_______________________________________________
One dimensional body
This only has length , and breadth , height = 0 . Eg : straight line
__________________________________________________
Zero dimensional
This has nothing literally no breadth , length and height . Eg : point
_________________________________________________
Why is the height and length different ?
Height and length can only be compared well if we talk about about three dimensional bodies because they have both distinct lengths and heights.
Imagine a cube :
It has length and height too . They are equal in value but they are not same.
Why different ?
I dont want to elongate . Think of a co - ordinate system .
I think you have learnt about x-axis and y-axis . The x-axis is perpendicular to y-axis .
x-axis indicates length whereas y-axis indicates breadth .
Now lets introduce the expert z-axis
The z-axis indicates height .
Now we can answer :" since the z-axis and x-axis are two different lines height and length must also be different " .
Consequently you will learn that the height and length are perpendicular to each other just like the x-axis and the z-axis
Thus length and height is never same
' For a cube the length is horizontal and height is vertical '.
Hope it helps ^_^
