minus-square@mumblerfishlinkEnglish44•edit-23 months agoYou’d just continue saying ‘volume’, alternatively ‘k-dimensional volume’ or ‘volume of the n-dimensional object’. Like for spheres: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball The n-dimensional volume of a Euclidean ball of radius R in n-dimensional Euclidean space is:[1]
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish24•3 months agoI’m going to start calling area “2-dimensional volume”
minus-square@mumblerfishlinkEnglish19•3 months agoOnly if you also call length “1-dimensional volume”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish11•3 months agoWhat happens if I turn the dimensional volume up to 11?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•3 months agoWell if it’s in 1-dimensional space, then you have a line the length of 11 units.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•3 months agoWell, you could just make 10 higher and make that the highest

“But- but this one goes to 11.”
