Basics

∠, the angle symbol in Unicode is U+2220
  • Geometry – mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry is used extensively in trigonometry.
  • Angle – angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles formed by two rays lie in a plane, but this plane does not have to be a Euclidean plane.
  • Ratio
