Answer:

A one-dimensional object is a line which has only one dimension or measurement, which is its length. Or to put it differently, a one-dimensional object can only be measured in one direction. A flat shape with two dimensions or measurements—length and width—and no thickness is two-dimensional. A two-dimensional object can be measured in two different directions. Squares and rectangles are examples of two-dimensional shapes. However, three-dimensional objects, also known as solids, have three dimensions or measurements: length, width, and height. Therefore, they can be measured in three different directions. Examples include cylinders, cubes, and pyramids.

Step-by-step explanation:


Dimensional: Having measurements in one or more directions, often meaning length, width, and height.


One-dimensional - Length

Two-dimensional - Length and Width

Three-dimensional - Length, width, and height
