Is total width & height of box width plus height ? or only width ?

Hi all , In the css width & height property lesson It is written : "div { border: 5px solid green; width: 90px; height: 90px; } The total width and height of the box will be the 90px+5px (border)+5px(border) = 100px; " I don't understand : width & height ??? width = 90px + 5px right + 5px left = 100px + height= 90px + 5px bottom + 5px top = 100px total width and height = 200px , isn't it ? thanks for your help !

That’s why people use box-sizing so borders, margins and paddings doesn’t add extra width or height. The width would be 90px even if you have borders on it.

no, you have to treat them separately. total width=100px total height=100px (in your example) when they say total width & height they mean width and height seperately NOT width+height.
