BIO IA What do you call EGG'S width n length? Horizontal n vertical circumference? ASAP help please ...

[Brenda Wijaya 48]

Hi guys,

This question is pretty silly but my teacher ask us to measure the egg's "length" using thin string, we wrap it around and then

use a ruler to measure the string to decide the egg's "length". BUT, do we call it as "length"? I mean, if we are going to name it as length, it will

change the real meaning because, we basically wrap the string around the egg. So, do we call it as vertical circumference?

Any ideas???

Help ASAP PLEASE :'(

I would call it whatever you like and then in your method draw out a picture and explain how you measured the egg to come to that value. Problem solved. Vertical circumference sounds good
