The dimension of a point is determined by the fewest number of coordinates required to describe it.
Take the sheet of paper as an example. All you need are two coordinates: length and breadth. Thus, it can be considered a two-dimensional object. However, in order to define a cube in three-dimensional space, you only need three coordinates: length, breadth, and height. That's why we refer to it as a three-dimensional object.
Understanding dimensions provides valuable insights into the structure and organisation of the physical world. Dimensions offer a structure for quantifying and explaining the physical size of objects and phenomena. They allow us to easily move around and engage with our surroundings. In addition, dimensions are crucial in shaping scientific theories and mathematical models that elucidate the fundamental laws that govern our universe.
