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.
Usually, the term "dimension" is used the most, as it refers to the space and volume in which a certain amount of coordinates are needed to form a line or connect two different points. Most of the time, the term "dimention" is a misspelling error.
You need a pair of numbers to locate a point in 2-dimensions. Only one number would be required in 1-dimension; 3 numbers would be needed in 3-dimensions, etc. If you have a two dimensional plane and you choose an arbitrary point on it as your origin, then any point on that plane can be uniquely identified by the use of two numbers. The two numbers can represent the distance of the point from two axes. In the Cartesian plane these are the x and y axes and they are perpendicualr to one another (orthogonal) but that is not necessary. Alternatively, you could use polar coordinates (distance from origin and angle made with the "horizontal" axis) as your two numbers.

Two coordinates are needed to work out the slope of the line.

Rational dimension refers to the dimension of a vector space over the field of rational numbers. It is the minimum number of linearly independent vectors needed to span the entire vector space. The rational dimension can differ from the ordinary dimension of a vector space if the vectors are over a field other than the rational numbers.
Typically, at least three seismic stations are needed to accurately locate an earthquake by using triangulation. The more stations that record the earthquake, the more accurate the determination of its location can be.
At least three stations are needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake using triangulation. By comparing the arrival times of seismic waves at these stations, seismologists can pinpoint the epicenter. Additional stations can improve the accuracy of the location.

If you mean 7.5 and 7.513106 then another dimension is needed to work out its volume.
Keeping information needed to locate a particular book
At least three seismic stations are needed to locate an earthquake's epicenter using the triangulation method. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to reach each station, scientists can pinpoint the epicenter where the three circles intersect.
