 Both the meanings of these words and the definitions of these words are fine.

Say either in your dictionary or by looking them up in your dictionary, but not both.

Thank you,  again.
Why do they have to be plurals?
Please find out the meanings  of these words in your dictionary.
Please find out the definitions of these words in your dictionary.

I think we can say this:
Please find out the price of these two/three/four cars.

But come to think of it, it would be better to say:
Please find out the prices of these two/three/four cars.

But don't know why? How about these?
The price of cars is varied. -- doesn't look to be correct.
The prices of cars are varied. -- looks to be correct.

Don't know why.
