a measurable extent of some kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height.

Hmmm...I see size as a synonym.
Oh look...one of the definitions of dimensions is size. Who would have thought a dictionary could make a mistake like that?

Dimension definition
2. countable noun
A dimension is a measurement such as length, width, or height. If you talk about the dimensions of an object or place, you are referring to its size and proportions.

How can this be? Another dictionary that doesn't know the JoeG meaning of dimensions. Unbelievable.
