Size

Size in general is the magnitude or dimensions of a thing. More specifically, geometrical size (or spatial size) can refer to linear dimensions (length, width, height, diameter, perimeter), area, or volume.

Dimensionnoun

A single aspect of a given thing.

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

Dimensionnoun

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.
