The property shown is commutative multiplication. This property says that the product of two factors is not affected by the order in which they're multiplied. In this case, the product remains the same i.e., 2*8*5 = 80 while 2*5*8 <em>also </em>equals 80.
The height of the object is EQUAL to the height of the model. We can see this in advertising when for example cereal is being advertised and on the box is says "actual size" because the cereal is drawn to scale.
