The difference between depth and width lies in the direction they measure in three-dimensional space. Width measures the horizontal extent, while depth measures the extent from front to back.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Width: Refers to the measurement of something from side to side. Think of how wide a table is, or how wide a road is. It describes the horizontal dimension.
-
Depth: Refers to the measurement of something from front to back. Think of how deep a drawer is, or how deep a swimming pool is. It describes the dimension extending backward.
Essentially, width indicates how wide something is, while depth indicates how deep it extends. Height, on the other hand, indicates how tall something is (from top to bottom). Together, width, depth, and height define the three dimensions of a rectangular object.
