The properties `width` and `height` apply to the content area, and it sits at the center of the Box Model. Structure from outside in: ```javascript margin → border → padding → content area ``` Characteristic features: - it is the **most central part of the box**; - `padding`, `border`, and `margin` are not part of it; - if `box-sizing: content-box` is set, `width` and `height` work **only with it**. Summary: **content area is the area of an element's actual content, without inner padding or borders.**For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
