Since we are talking about a rectangle it should be width not height.

bwramsey commented 3 months ago

Definitely not. The width was in the x-direction (and was already called width), and the height is in the y-direction.

pfatheddin commented 3 months ago

I see. What about changing the sentence at the end: image To the length of the rectangle with the maximum area is ... and its width is.... height for rectangle just sounds strange.

bwramsey commented 3 months ago

Width and height are appropriate in this context. We'll be talking a LOT more about width and height of rectangles when we get to Riemann Sums.

pfatheddin commented 3 months ago

ok. You are right in Riemann sums we do think height.
