How to set the size correctly?

Question

HTML

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="carousel slide " data-ride="carousel" id="myCarousel">

#myCarousel {
     height: 500px;
    width: 100%;
    & .carousel-inner {
      height: 100%;
      width: 100%;
      & .item {
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
      }
    }
  }

I can’t set the size for #myCarouselwhen the slides change the height, what is missing in the code so that the height is kept constant at 500 pixels when slides?

Answer 1

it is necessary to limit the height of the image or partially hide it (overflow)

Answer 2

height: 100%;
width: auto; /* это свойство можно вообще не писать */
