Geometry Symbols

Geometry symbols play a crucial role in expressing mathematical concepts and solutions. From familiar Math's symbols like "+", "-", "*", and "/", these evolve into specialized geometry symbols that visually represent geometric elements. These symbols, such as points (●), lines (―), and angles (∠), form the language of geometry, aiding in the precise communication of spatial relationships. The application of geometric symbols extends to different shapes like triangles (△) and circles (o), facilitating the representation and solution of geometric problems within the broader realm of Math's solutions.

Table Of Geometry Symbols:

Symbol	Name of the Symbol	Meaning / Definition
∠	Angle	Represents an angle formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint.
m∠	Measured Angle	Denotes the measure of an angle in degrees or radians.
∢	Spherical Angle	Represents an angle on the surface of a sphere.
∟	Right Angle	Denotes an angle of 90 degrees.
°	Degree	Unit of angular measurement, with a full circle being 360 degrees.
‘	Prime	Indicates minutes in angular measurement (1 degree = 60 minutes).
"	Double Prime	Indicates seconds in angular measurement (1 minute = 60 seconds).
─→	Line	Represents a straight path that extends indefinitely in both directions.
AB or AB	Line Segment	Denotes a part of a line with two endpoints.
→AB or AB→	Ray	Represents a part of a line that starts at one endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction.
↺	Arc	Represents a curved part of a circle.
⊥	Perpendicular	Denotes two lines that intersect at a right angle.
∥	Parallel	Indicates lines that will never intersect.
≅	Congruent To	Denotes that two shapes or segments have the same size and shape.
∼	Similarity	Denotes that two figures are similar.
△	Triangle	Represents a polygon with three sides and three angles.
d	Distance	Represents the length between two points.
π	Pi Constant	Represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
rad	Radians	Unit of angular measurement, based on the radius of a circle.
c	Gradians / Gons	Unit of angular measurement, a right angle is equivalent to 100 gradians.
