help when i type the invalid width after typing the length correctly it goes back to the length

[strange zinc]

you only have one loop and it starts with prompting the length, so when you have continue in your width prompt it goes back to prompting the length

while True:
    if shape not in shapes:
      print("please enter a valid shape")
      shape = input("rectangle, square, circle, triangle | ")
    else:
      try:
        # Rectangle area calculator
        if shape == "rectangle":
          try:
            height = abs(float(
                input("What is the length of your rectangle? ")))
          except ValueError:
            print("please enter a valid height")
            continue
          try:
            width = abs(float(input("What is the width of your rectangle? ")))
          except ValueError:
            print("please enter a valid width")
            continue

honestly if you want to get input i would separate that logic into its own function

still goes back to length
