A Dimension, in the mathematical sense, is any direction in which a point can be moved.

A two dimensional plane has 2 directions: up/down, left/right (diagonals are not counted as dimensions)

A three dimensional plane has up/down, left/right, forward/backward

Scientists currently work with the model that we live in 4 dimensional space: up/down, left/right, forward/backward, past/future (3 spatial dimensions +1 dimension of time)

However, there are scientific models (such as string theory) which have more than 4 dimensions.

A dimension is a measurable extent, such as length, width, or height, of an object or space. In mathematics and physics, dimensions refer to the number of coordinates needed to specify a point in space.

A dimension is the word used to describe:- Measurements stated, that convey to people, the precise sizes of something. Usually they indicate length, and/or width, and/or height, and/or thickness, and/or diameter, and/or radius and/or area, and/or any other information which is needed to clarify details of an object or thing, using NUMBERS. Architects and Engineers produce drawings which usually contain a large number of 'dimensions' which are essential to convey to the reader of the drawing, exactly what is being asked for.
