Dimensions - 1D-2D-3D-4D-......-nD


1D-2D-3D-.............-nD:

One dimension, say a line with LENGTH,l
This is 1D as there is only one dimension - length
If we want two dimensional, we need to have another dimension which is perpendicular to the previous dimension i.e., making 90 degrees with length, l.
So, draw a line at one end of length that is perpendicular. So, if our previous line is horizontal, now we get a vertical line, let it be breadth,b.
So, this is 2D - LENGTH and BREADTH.
Examples of two dimensional figures are SQUARE, RECTANGLE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, etc,.
Now 3D means one more dimension to be added to 2D and it should be perpendicular to length as well as breadth at that same point where length and breadth are perpendicular to each other.
This is not possible to draw on a paper exactly as paper itself is a 2D object as there is only length and breadth for the paper, but for the convenience people draw a line cross to length and breadth assuming it makes 90 degrees with both of them and we call it HEIGHT. If you observe a cuboid, at any point i.e., vertex, we can observe that length, breadth and height are perpendicular to each other. A paper has no height as it is 2D body - only length and breadth.
Examples of three dimensional figures are CUBE, CUBOID, CONE, SPHERE, etc,.
This world is a 3D world. Sun, moon, earth and many other bodies are all 3D figures, we can say they are spheres as they look like balls approximately, if not exactly. 

                   Now, if we want 4D, we need to have another dimension which must be perpendicular to length, breadth and height at the same point which is impossible to imagine for us, it is something which is beyond our imagination as we human beings are 3D bodies on this 3D planet. And we know upto 3D only. We do not know more that that. If one knows 4D, then such one will automatically know 1D, 2D and 3D also but may not know 5D, 6D, etc,.

Mutually Exclusive And Independent Events

Mutually exclusive events: The two events A & B are said to be mutually exclusive events when they cannot happen at the same time. Thus, A & B has no intersection area since they are not occurring at the same time. P(AΠB) = P(AB) = 0 where P(AΠB) is the probability of A intersection B and it is same as the probability of A multiplied by B, P(AB). In dependent events: The two events A & B are said to be independent events when the occurrence of one event does not influence the occurrence of other event. In this case, P(A Π B) = P(AB) = P(A)*P(B), that is, the probability of A & B is the probability of A multiplied by the probability of B. Difference between mutually exclusive events and independent events: One difference is as we have seen above, if A & B are mutually exclusive, the probability of their intersection is zero. P(AB) = 0 and  if they are independent, P(AB) = P(A)*P(B). The other difference can be seen...

Past continuous tense

Past continuous tense explanation: When it is used, how it is used and it's relation to simple past tense. WHEN TO USE: For those actions that were continued in the past. Duration of actions in the past. For the actions that continued for some time in the past. Examples: 1. Yesterday, I was working on my project at this time. 2. Last month, on this day, we were celebrating my cousin's birthday. 3. He was struggling with his job. 4. He was not struggling with his job. 5. Was he struggling with his job? 6. Wasn't he struggling with his job? 7. Were they fighting with each other yesterday at this time? 8. Yesterday at this time, weren't they fighting with each other? USED ALONG WITH SIMPLE PAST TENSE: 1. Yesterday when my father came into my room, I was studying. 2. Yesterday when my father came, I was not studying. 3. Was I studying yesterday, when my father came? 4. Wasn't I studying yesterday, when my father came? 6. While I was studying yesterd...

AREAS OF CUBE AND CUBOID

We call areas of cube and cuboid as surface areas. This surface area is of 2 types: 1. Lateral(or curved) surface area (LSA), and 2. Total surface area (TSA) And we also have Volume, which means the space inside the cube or cuboid. FORMULAE:     LSA             TSA             VOLUME  CUBE:               4aa             6aa               aaa  CUBOID:         2h(l+b)    2(lb+bh+lh)      lbh In a cube all edges lengths are equal i,e, a. In a cuboid length, breadth and height, non-equl or any two parameters may be equal- if all the three are equal, then it is said to be a cube.
