1 height: The "height" of an object is the distance from the base to the top of it. In the audio, the Estate Agent mentions the "ceiling height" of the apartment being 14 feet. This means that distance from the floor to the ceiling is 14 feet. The "ceiling" is the upper surface of a room. A "foot" is 12 inches, or 0.3048 metres if you like precise metric figures.
2 width: The "width" of an object is the distance from one side to the other, for example: the width of my jeans has slowly gone up without my knowledge. "Width" is the noun form of the adjective "wide".
3 depth: "Depth" is the noun form of the adjective "deep". Because we are humans, we are able to perceive the world in three dimensions, and this is called "depth perception". Interesting, eh? No? Oh.
4 weight: The "weight" of an object is a measure of how heavy it is. Example: My weight increased rapidly after my boyfriend dumped me. Note the verbs most commonly associated with this noun: we "gain" (or "put on") weight = to increase weight. Or we "lose" weight = to decrease weight.
