Dimension vs. Volume
Dimensionnoun
A measure of spatial extent in a particular direction, such as height, width or breadth, or depth.
Dimensionnoun
A construct whereby objects or individuals can be distinguished.
Dimensionnoun
(geometry) The number of independent coordinates needed to specify uniquely the location of a point in a space; also, any of such independent coordinates.
Dimensionnoun
(linear algebra) The number of elements of any basis of a vector space.
Dimensionnoun
(physics) One of the physical properties that are regarded as fundamental measures of a physical quantity, such as mass, length and time.
Dimensionnoun
(computing) Any of the independent ranges of indices in a multidimensional array.
Dimensionnoun
An alternative universe or plane of existence.
Dimensionverb
(transitive) To mark, cut or shape something to specified dimensions.
Dimensionnoun
Measure in a single line, as length, breadth, height, thickness, or circumference; extension; measurement; - usually, in the plural, measure in length and breadth, or in length, breadth, and thickness; extent; size; as, the dimensions of a room, or of a ship; the dimensions of a farm, of a kingdom.
Dimensionnoun
Extent; reach; scope; importance; as, a project of large dimensions.
Dimensionnoun
The degree of manifoldness of a quantity; as, time is quantity having one dimension; volume has three dimensions, relative to extension.
Dimensionnoun
A literal factor, as numbered in characterizing a term. The term dimensions forms with the cardinal numbers a phrase equivalent to degree with the ordinal; thus, a2b2c is a term of five dimensions, or of the fifth degree.
Dimensionnoun
The manifoldness with which the fundamental units of time, length, and mass are involved in determining the units of other physical quantities.
Dimensionnoun
the magnitude of something in a particular direction (especially length or width or height)
Dimensionnoun
a construct whereby objects or individuals can be distinguished;
Dimensionnoun
one of three cartesian coordinates that determine a position in space
Dimensionnoun
magnitude or extent;
Dimensionverb
indicate the dimensions on;
Dimensionverb
shape or form to required dimensions
Dimensionnoun
a measurable extent of a particular kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height
Dimensionnoun
a mode of linear extension of which there are three in space and two on a flat surface, which corresponds to one of a set of coordinates specifying the position of a point.
Dimensionnoun
an expression for a derived physical quantity in terms of fundamental quantities such as mass, length, or time, raised to the appropriate power (acceleration, for example, having the dimension of length × time⁻²).
Dimensionnoun
an aspect or feature of a situation
Dimensionverb
cut or shape (something) to particular measurements.
Dimensionverb
mark (a diagram) with measurements.
Dimension
In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a mathematical space (or object) is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it. Thus a line has a dimension of one (1D) because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it – for example, the point at 5 on a number line.
Volumenoun
A three-dimensional measure of space that comprises a length, a width and a height. It is measured in units of cubic centimeters in metric, cubic inches or cubic feet in English measurement.
Volumenoun
Strength of sound. Measured in decibels.
Volumenoun
The issues of a periodical over a period of one year.
Volumenoun
A bound book.
Volumenoun
A single book of a publication issued in multi-book format, such as an encyclopedia.
Volumenoun
Quantity.
Volumenoun
(economics) The total supply of money in circulation or, less frequently, total amount of credit extended, within a specified national market or worldwide.
Volumenoun
(computing) An accessible storage area with a single file system, typically resident on a single partition of a hard disk.
Volumeverb
(intransitive) To be conveyed through the air, waft.
Volumeverb
(transitive) To cause to move through the air, waft.
Volumenoun
A roll; a scroll; a written document rolled up for keeping or for use, after the manner of the ancients.
Volumenoun
Hence, a collection of printed sheets bound together, whether containing a single work, or a part of a work, or more than one work; a book; a tome; especially, that part of an extended work which is bound up together in one cover; as, a work in four volumes.
Volumenoun
Anything of a rounded or swelling form resembling a roll; a turn; a convolution; a coil.
Volumenoun
Dimensions; compass; space occupied, as measured by cubic units, that is, cubic inches, feet, yards, etc.; mass; bulk; as, the volume of an elephant's body; a volume of gas.
Volumenoun
Amount, fullness, quantity, or caliber of voice or tone.
Volumenoun
the amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object;
Volumenoun
the property of something that is great in magnitude;
Volumenoun
physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together;
Volumenoun
a publication that is one of a set of several similar publications;
Volumenoun
a relative amount;
Volumenoun
the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction);
Volume
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or 3D shape occupies or contains. Volume is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre.
