Explain the significance of using symbols for dimensions in engineering drawing.

• It has no significance and is just a tradition in engineering drawing.

• Using symbols for dimensions makes the drawing more confusing and difficult to understand.

• Symbols for dimensions are only used for aesthetic purposes and do not provide any useful information.

• It helps to provide clear and standardized information about the size and shape of the object being represented.
