Android Jetpack Compose width / height / size modifier vs requiredWidth / requiredHeight / requiredSize

Android Jetpack Compose contains width(), height() and size() layout modifiers as well as requiredWidth(), requiredHeight() and requiredSize(). What is the difference between these two sets of modifiers? Should I use plain modifiers or required ones?
