Hi there, I don't see the explicit notation for the line through A and B. What does AB stand for? The distance between A and B (sometimes denoted |AB|), the segment from A to B (denoted sometimes AB or [AB]), the line through A and B (denoted sometimes (AB))? Is there a fixed rule, regional rules? Christian.Mercat (talk) 17:22, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AFAYK, there is no commonly accepted notation, and, depending on the authors and the context, AB or AB may denote eiher the line, the segment, or its length. Some authors use the same notation for the three concepts. D.Lazard (talk) 17:45, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
