Use precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment from point/line/distance ideas.
Translate segment notation into words
Problem
Translate the geometric notation \(\text{segment}~AB\) into words.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Notation can be decoded by asking what the symbol says about extent before reading the letters. We’ll distinguish the bar-over-two-letters form from line and ray notation, then interpret the letters by their geometric role and check why reversing their order does not create a new object.
