Outer measure is a function defined on all subsets of a given set, which extends the idea of length, area, or volume, aiming to assign a 'size' to even the most irregular sets. It is foundational in measure theory, providing a way to define a measure on a sigma-algebra by approximating sets from the outside using simpler sets.

Length is a fundamental measurement in geometry and physics that quantifies the extent of an object or distance between two points. It is a one-dimensional measure and can be expressed in various units such as meters, feet, or inches, depending on the system of measurement used.

length

Area is a measure of the extent of a two-dimensional surface or shape in a plane, quantified in square units. It is a fundamental concept in geometry and mathematics, essential for calculating the size of surfaces in various fields such as architecture, engineering, and physics.

area

Volume is a measure of the amount of three-dimensional space an object or substance occupies, often quantified in cubic units. It is a fundamental concept in mathematics and physics, crucial for understanding properties of solids, liquids, and gases in various scientific and practical applications.
