Angle Symbols - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Angle Notation

Angle notation is the way of naming them to know which angle we are referring to. When reading the data, it is customary to mark the given angles and the angle that needs to be found. In this way, we can obtain a better visual image that allows us to find the solution in the most efficient way possible. When we want to demonstrate something or express the angles verbally, we must designate them in a correct and clear manner. Besides, correct notation is important and indispensable to avoid errors.
