To help us make this distinction, look at our picture of a rectangular backyard. The yard is 2-dimensional: it has a length and a width. The amount of fence needed to enclose the backyard (perimeter) is 1-dimensional. The perimeter of this yard is the distance around the outside of the yard, indicated by the red arrow; It is measured in linear units such as feet or meters.

Thanks for the tip, this one seems tricky. (Spellchecker you’ve made a fool of me for the last time!)

I’m still curious as to what I’m supposed to do now…
