This week we investigate how quantities exist in multiple dimensions (i.e., 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional space). Naturally, we think about the world in three dimensions because that is what we experience daily. As a result, our minds are frequently making qualitative inferences about the space around us. However, we may or may not naturally quantify those situations.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words and in the required format:
- 1. Reflect on the past several days. Think about all the times you considered how much space something took up to help make a choice. List as many examples from the past few days as you can recall.
- 2. Which of those did you quantify (measure) before acting?
- 3. In which cases might you have saved yourself some resources if you would have used what you are learning this week to quantify the situation?
