The height is specified in pixels - without the ‘px‘ unit.

<canvas id="mycanvas" height="110" width="110"></canvas>

<script>

  ( () => {
    let canvas = document.getElementById("mycanvas");
    let context = canvas.getContext("2d");

    context.fillStyle = "lightblue";
    context.fillRect(5, 5, 100, 100);
  } )();

</script>
