What exactly is “width” in geometry?

  • October 18, 2023, 4:11pm

I meant, for instance, that some towers are not straight, yet they can be as straight as an arrow in contrast to being curved. Therefore; can a diagonal line (still) be (perfectly) straight, in the sense of not curved / wobbly. Although I assume that even a wobbly line can be called straight if it does not deviate too much from a certain direction.
