lebar

Lebar is a word in Indonesian and Malay that primarily denotes the measurement of horizontal size. It functions as a noun meaning width or breadth, and can also describe something as wide or broad when used as an adjective. In everyday usage, lebar is applied to tangible objects and spaces: lebar jalan (the width of a road), lebar meja (the width of a table), lebar pintu (the width of a door), or lebar layar (screen width).

In mathematics, engineering, and construction, lebar is used alongside panjang (length) and tinggi (height) to specify the dimensions of an object. For a rectangle, for example, the area is computed from its lebar and panjang. The term appears in technical contexts such as specifications, measurements, and design drawings to convey horizontal extent.

In digital and graphic contexts, lebar describes horizontal dimensions in interfaces and layouts. Phrases like lebar layar (screen width), lebar kolom (column width), and lebar jendela (window width) are used to discuss how content is arranged or displayed on screens and in printed materials. The word thus covers both everyday measurement and more formal technical descriptions.
