Define appropriate quantities for descriptive modeling.
Define measurements needed for a geometric model
Problem
A real object is modeled as a rectangular garden for area. What measurements are needed for this geometric model?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Identify both the shape being modeled and the geometric measure the model must produce, because together they determine the governing formula. The measurements you need are exactly the independent dimensions appearing in that formula, recorded in compatible linear units so their combination yields the requested type of measure.
