Use a *scientific* dictionary next time.  In math (geometry), a dimension is 
a degree of freedom in the choice of a coordinate instead.  In physics, this 
definition is employed with regard to position; another definition for 
dimension is employed with regard to quantities.  We have been over this 
recently already.  Read, think, post; in *that* order.
