in the drawing below what do the letters l and w represent

Explanation:
We have a rectangle and we need to describe what the letters l and w represent.
Since ''l'' is placed on the longer side of the rectangle, it represents the length:
[tex]l=length[/tex]And since ''w'' is placed on the shorter side of the rectangle, it represents the width:
[tex]w=width[/tex]Answer:
[tex]\begin{gathered} l\text{ is the length} \\ w\text{ is the width} \end{gathered}[/tex]
