Hi, it’s given “height” here, but I just want to understand if length and height are used interchangeably here? Because, height exists only for a cuboid, whereas for a rectangle it is just length and width, right? Thanks.

Yes

Not necessarily.

Yes! I got it. For a rectangle, length and height are the same because the angle is 90 degree. Thanks.
