Mathematics symbols - Geometric

Mathematics Symbols are very important to learn mathematics, on using symbols we can easily understand. 

 Mathematics Symbols can be categorized on their importance in the following ways:

  1. Mathematics symbols - Number
  2. Mathematics symbols Basic
  3. Mathematics symbols - Algebraic
  4. Mathematics symbols - Geometric
  5. Mathematics symbols - Trigonometry
  6. Mathematics symbols - Set Theory
  7. Mathematics symbols - Statistics & Probability
  8. Mathematics symbols - Calculus And Analysis
  9. Mathematics symbols - Logical
  10. Mathematics symbols - Roman
  11. Mathematics symbols Greek
  12. Mathematics symbols Miscellaneous
Now we shall learn /discuss Fourth topic Mathematics symbols - Geometric on this post.

Mathematics symbols - Geometric

 These are very important Basic Tools frequently used by us in algebra as well as in other branches of mathematics and sciences.

Symbol
NAME OF SYMBOL
DEFINITION / MEANING
ILLUSTRATION
Angle
An angle is formed by two rays
ABC = 60°
Measured angle

ABC = 30°
Zero Angle
An angle of measure zero degreeABC = 0°
Right angle
An angle of measure ninety degrees = 90°
α = 90°
°
Degree
1 turn or round = 360°
α = 60°
deg
Degree
1 turn or round  = 360 deg
α = 60 deg
Prime ( Read as different from prime numbers)
Arcminute, 1° = 60′
α = 60°59′
Double prime
Arcsecond, 1′ = 60″
α = 60°59′59″
Line
Infinite line
 Drawn from any point
AB
Line segment
The lines from point A to point B
 The lines from point B to point A is written as BA
Ray
The lines that start from any point like A

Arc
an arc from point A to point B
Part of the circumference of a circle of any measure = 60°
Perpendicular
Those lines intersect at right angles are perpendicular lines (90° angle).
AC  BC
Parallel
Those lines do not intersect each other are parallel lines.
AB  CD
Congruent to
Those geometric figures having same shapes and sizes.
∆ABC ∆XYZ
~
Similarity
Those geometric figures having the same shapes but sizes may be different.
∆ABC~ ∆XYZ
Δ
Triangle
Triangle shape
ΔABC ΔBCD
|x-y|
Distance
Distance between  any two points x and y
x-y | = 2 or 3 or any number
π
Pi constant
π = 3.141592654...
is the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle and it is an irrational numbers
c = πd = 2πr where r is the radius of circle and d = 2r
rad
Radians
Radians angle unit 
360° = 2π rad or 2π c
c
Radians
Radians angle unit
360° = 2π c   or  2π rad
grad
Gradians 
Grads angle unit
360° = 400 grad or g 
g
Gradians 
Grads angle unit
360° = 400 g or grad
Note:- Degree, Gradians and Radians are units of measurements of angles in various systems.
On having knowledge of the above Mathematics symbols - Geometric we can easily enhance our subject ideas.
