Our first application is on their Hausdorff dimension. We show a recent result of Ren and Wang, known sharp on orthogonal projections in the plane, is also sharp on $A+cB$, $c\\in C$, thus completely settle this ABC sum-product problem. Higher dimensional examples are also discussed. In addition to Hausdorff dimension, we also consider Fourier dimension. In particular, now for every $0\\leq t\\leq s\\leq 1$ we have an explicit construction in $\\mathbb{R}$ of Hausdorff dimension $s$ and Fourier dimension $t$, together with a measure $\\mu$ that captures both dimensions. In the end we provide a perspective of Knapp's example and treat our Diophantine approximation as its analog in $\\mathbb{R}$, that naturally leads to the sharpness of Mockenhaupt-Mitsis-Bak-Seeger Fourier restriction theorem. These are alternatives of recent examples due to Fraser-Hambrook-Ryou. In particular, to deal with the non-geometric case we construct measures of \"Hausdorff dimension\" $a$ and Fourier dimension $b$, even if $a
