Labeling Objects
Previous  Next

Labeling certain objects is important in communicating ideas in mathematics, especially if you are working on a geometry problem.

Text-boxes can be very useful for labeling objects on the board. You can also use special math notations to label angles, edges etc. (check this link for more info about math symbols).

     Here is another example:

Suppose that you want to label the top right corner of the red rectangle in the figure below with letter "C"
