Dimension is either the length, width, or height of a shape. In a 2-D or flat object there are 2 dimensions (length and width). In a 3-D shape there are 3 dimensions (length,width, and height)

In geometry, a dimension refers to the number of coordinates needed to specify the position of a point in space. In two-dimensional geometry (such as the coordinate plane), only two coordinates (x and y) are needed. In three-dimensional geometry (such as 3D space), three coordinates (x, y, and z) are needed. Higher dimensions refer to spaces with more coordinates, although it is difficult to visualize dimensions beyond three.

Has a location but no dimension in geometry?
A point.
Why do you need to study geometry?
If you wish to have a career in Architecture, Engineering, Astronomy, Fine Art, you need to understand the rudiments of shape, and how shapes relate. The Parthenon in Athens , Greece, is the finest example of Classical Architecture and Engineering using natural geometry, The word, 'geometry' means to 'measure (metry) he Earth'(geo).
What is the dimension of strain?
it has no dimension
What is a characteristic of Euclidean geometry?
One main characteristic of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry. The other is elliptic geometry. Non-Euclidean geometry is still closely related to Euclidean geometry.
What is the dimension of time?
The fourth dimension.
What is the difference between a driving and driven dimension?
Driving Dimension: the geometry is controlled by the dimension. Driven Dimension: the dimension is controlled by the geometry.
Has a location but no dimension in geometry?
A point.
What is a one dimension fugure geometry?
A straight line is a one dimensional figure in geometry
What undefined geometry term has one dimension?
A point.
The three basic building blocks of geometry are pointline and plane?
It's dimension, points, and space.
What has the author Linda Dalrymple Henderson written?
Linda Dalrymple Henderson has written: 'The fourth dimension and non-Euclidean geometry in modern art' -- subject(s): Art, Modern, Fourth dimension, Geometry, Non-Euclidean, Modern Art, Themes, motives 'Duchamp in context' -- subject(s): Art and science, Criticism and interpretation
Are there other dimensioons?
It all depends what you mean by dimensions - for example in geometry a point is said to have zero dimension a figure having length, such as a line has one dimension a plane or surface has two dimensions a figure having volume has three dimensions the fourth dimension is said to be time any other dimension can not be represented visually but may be dealt with mathematically

What are some real world applications of geometry?
Euclidean geometry has become closely connected with computational geometry, computer graphics, convex geometry, and some area of combinatorics. Topology and geometry The field of topology, which saw massive developement in the 20th century is a technical sense of transformation geometry. Geometry is used on many other fields of science, like Algebraic geometry. Types, methodologies, and terminologies of geometry: Absolute geometry Affine geometry Algebraic geometry Analytic geometry Archimedes' use of infinitesimals Birational geometry Complex geometry Combinatorial geometry Computational geometry Conformal geometry Constructive solid geometry Contact geometry Convex geometry Descriptive geometry Differential geometry Digital geometry Discrete geometry Distance geometry Elliptic geometry Enumerative geometry Epipolar geometry Euclidean geometry Finite geometry Geometry of numbers Hyperbolic geometry Information geometry Integral geometry Inversive geometry Inversive ring geometry Klein geometry Lie sphere geometry Non-Euclidean geometry Numerical geometry Ordered geometry Parabolic geometry Plane geometry Projective geometry Quantum geometry Riemannian geometry Ruppeiner geometry Spherical geometry Symplectic geometry Synthetic geometry Systolic geometry Taxicab geometry Toric geometry Transformation geometry Tropical geometry
Describe each term of 3 undefined terms in geometry?
There are typically three words in geometry that are undefined. The first is "point." A point has no dimension, length, width, or thickness. The second is "line." A line has no thickness and goes on indefinitely in both directions. The third undefined term is "plane." A plane has no thickness and has no boundaries.
What is the value of the degree of freedom?
A degree of freedom, is merely a direction (including philosophic) in which an object is not constrained. In our usual 3 - dimension geometry, there is yet no constraint on any of the several rotations - these could be considered degrees of freedom.
What are the four aspects of geometry?
* geometry in nature * for practcal use of geometry * geometry as a theory * historic practical use of geometry
