That because they are for getting the pref width and height during layout,
you've labelled the parameter wrong.

It's:

public double prefWidth(double height)
public double prefHeight(double width)

 i.e. given width X what is your preferred height?

prefHeight<http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/layout/Region.html#prefHeight(double)>
prefWidth<http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/layout/Region.html#prefWidth(double)>
