neutral  Lara Barnett: Some of these EN links are not native English translations. They are not valid and they sound odd overall. If you provided only English native translations the samples given would not sound so odd and incomprehensible.

neutral  Douglas Bissell: To me, depth means in a downwards direction, not away from the road, though I do agree depth is used to describe appliance dimensions H/W/D etc

Explanation:
The longest side of a terrain is the length and the shirtest side is the width. I don't think we use "depth" in English for this purpose.

metres long


Explanation:
Metres wide = largura ou frente
Metres long = comprimento (distância para trás da rua)
Mesmo se a frente for maior que o comprimento.
50 metres long by 10 metres wide = frente de 50 metros e profundidade de 10 m.
