The symbol ∠ refers to an angle.
Example Solution: ∠ CPQ and ∠ CPB
However, in the exercise we have multiple angles with the same vertex, so we have to a use different notation. To avoid confusion, we can place the letter name of the vertex between the name of points that lie on the rays creating the angle, PC and PR.
Because we have two other points lying on PR, point Q and point B, we can choose any one of them instead of R to create other names for our angle. ∠ CPQ or ∠ CPB We can also reverse the order of letters in each name. This means that ∠ QPC, ∠ BPC, and ∠ RPC are also valid names for angle ∠ CPR. We can choose any pair of them for our answer.
