If the 1st 2nd and 3rd dimensions can be measured in distance units can the 4th dimension or time be measured using the same units?
No - because time is measured in seconds, not linear distance.
Definition of linear dimension?
For example, on a number line (which is one dimensional object), we measure the distance of two points in units. For example, the distance between 2 and 4 is 2 units. Any nth side of a polygon, can be measured by using linear units, such as cm, in., ft, km, etc. The circumference of a circle, the length of an arc, also are measured by linear units. A unit that is used to measure the distance between two points, is called linear dimension.
Why are lengths measured in linear units?
Because length is one dimension, thus it's measured in linear units.
Explain why perimeter is measured in units and area is measured in square units?
Because the perimeter is a linear measurement, and area is measured by multiplying 2 linear measurements together.
Examples of things measured in kilometers?
A Kilometre is a mid range unit of linear distance. It is used mainly to indicate the separation of places geographically.

No - because time is measured in seconds, not linear distance.
What is the definition of relative distance?
distance measured not in linear terms such as miles or kilometers but in terms such as cost and time
What is the difference between Lineal Foot and Linear foot?
Lineal foot can be measured on the ground. It is related to an actual measurement. Linear foot is a distance not necessarily measured along the ground. Also linear foot can refer to board feet.
Is circumference measured in cm?
Circumference can be measured in any linear measurement. It could be centimeters, meters, miles, inches etc. generally the circumference is the linear distance around a circle. When you have a perfect circle, it's fairly easy to calculate if you know the distance across the circle.

What is the unit used to measure distances around a circle?
The distance around a circle is its circumference and it can be measured in any linear units.

How do you work out a linear meter?
A linear metre is simply the length of an object measured (or expressed) in metres. So, normally, it would be measured, not worked out.
How is distance measured from the Equator?
Distance from the Equator is measured in Latitude .
Three dimensions figures are measured by what?
They can be measured by their linear measures in three orthogonal directions.
