Active Margins and Sizing of Images and Tables

When using percentage-based values to specify the dimensions of an image or a table, the percentages are applied to the relevant active area of the element containing the image or table. This often refers to the page area. The term "relevant" indicates that vertical measurements are derived from the vertical page dimension and horizontal measurements are derived from the left and right margins active at the point at which the table or image appears.
