kokonaispituuden

Kokonaispituuden is the genitive form of kokonaispituus, a Finnish noun meaning the total length or overall length of something. It refers to the length obtained by summing the lengths of its parts or to the overall extension of an object in one dimension. In usage, kokonaispituuden functions as a noun phrase in genitive constructions, for example in phrases like kokonaispituuden mittaus (measurement of total length) or kokonaispituuden arvo (the value of the total length).

In mathematics and geometry, the concept is used for the total length of a path or curve, such as the length of a polyline, which is the sum of the lengths of the individual segments. In engineering and everyday language, kokonaispituuden can describe the total length of a cable, an object, or a route, as in reitin kokonaispituuden arviointi (assessment of the total length of the route).

Grammatically, kokonaispituuden is the genitive singular form of kokonaispituus; it is used to modify another noun, for example kokonaispituuden mittausmenetelmät (measurement methods of total length). The term is distinct from pituus, which denotes length in general, and kokonaispituus, which denotes total length as a concept.
