What measurements does this comparison use?

How should I read the drawing?
RMS Titanic spans about 3.5× as much as Boeing 747-8 across the longest side of each drawing. This is a linear scale comparison, not a comparison of mass or volume. For maps, the table reports area; doubling a map’s width and height multiplies its area by four.
