agree  Tony M: I think the first of each of your options is possibly slightly more common, and more likely to be the way we might actual speak it. "It's 3 feet long" etc.

agree  kmtext: In this context, I would go with wide, deep and long because they come after the numerals. If it was W: 10m, D: 30m, I would use width, depth etc.
