This question has already been answered by myself but someone else has entirely deleted the original answer probably for plagiarizing purposes so here we go again:-
It is written that at one time in the distant past the Hindu-Arabic numerals or digits of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 were once encoded with secret geometrical symbols inasmuch that the first digit of 1 had either an arc or an angle of 36 degrees hidden in it and then thereafter each consecutive digit was increased by increments of 36 degrees by means of arcs and angles or a combination of both in which the digit 0 finally consisted of 360 degrees.
As a consequence of these concealed codes the digit degree sum of any number from 1 to infinity would always finally total to 9 degrees as the following example shows:-
Digit degree sum of 2357 = 36*(2+3+5+7) = 612 => 6+1+2 = 9 degrees
Over the past thousands of years Hindu-Arabic numerals have been transformed into the configuration that we use today but the zero figure at one time probably resembled a circle which even today consist of ten 36 degree arcs amounting to 360 degrees.
QED
It is written that at one time in the distant past Hindu-Arabic numerals or digits were once encoded with secret geometrical symbols inasmuch that the first digit of 1 had either an arc or an angle hidden in it of 36 degrees and then thereafter each consecutive digit was increased by increments of 36 degrees by means of arcs and angles or a combination of both in which the 0 digit finally consisted of 360 degrees. As a consequence of these concealed codes the digit degree sum of any number from 1 to infinity would always finally add up 9 degrees as the following example shows:- Digit degree sum of 2357 = 36*(2+3+5+7) = 612 => 6+1+2 = 9 degrees Over the past thousands of years Hindu-Arabic numerals have been transformed into the configuration that we use today but the zero figure at one time probably resembled a circle which even today consist of ten arcs of 36 degrees amounting to 360 degrees.
The famous digits which are being used worldwide are invented by Muslim Arabs. These numbers are written as 0, 1, 2, 3,..., 9. They are called dictionaries as 'Arabic digits '. The philosophy behind these digits is that the number is represented by the same number of angles in the written form. For example, the number zero is of zero number of angles, the number 1 is having one angle, the number 2 is having two angles, and so until number 9 has nine angles. Try them as it is very interesting to understand for example why we write number 7 with a horizontal dash in the middle.

No, it also involves sides of polygonal shapes, and their counterparts in 3 or more dimensional spaces.
The number system what we use today (1,2,3,4,5…) is called Arabic Numbers System. We also have Roman Numbers System (I, II, III, IV, V, …) which is rarely being used.Have you ever thought WHY One is 1, Two is 2, Three is 3 … and so on?It is all because of Angles.

The Arabic numbers, which is what are numbers are based on for the English language and are very similar to, use to have no curves or curved angles in them and had all acute, obtuse, or right angles. According to what number it was (for example 3) had three angles. Another example is 4, which still has four angles today.
This question has already been answered but someone else has deleted the answer entirely so here we go again:- The connection is that at one time the Hindu-Arabic numerals or digits of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 once had arcs or angles secreted into them beginning with 1 which had 36 degrees hidden in it and then thereafter each consecutive digit was increased by increments of 36 degrees in which 0 finally consisted of 360 degrees. As a result of those concealments the digit degree sum of any number from 1 to infinity would always total to 9 degrees as in the following examples. Digit degree sum of 1 = 36*(1) = 36 = 3+6 = 9 degrees Digit degree sum of 73928 = 36*(7+3+9+2+8) = 1044 = 1+0+4+4 = 9 degrees Over the span of time the shapes of these numerals have changed inasmuch that the zero figure probably was once the same shape as a circle which even today embraces ten 36 degree arcs.
That depends, what it is you know. For example, if you know two of the angles, you can use the rule that the sum of the three angles must be 180 degrees. If you know the sides, the calculation is different, and involves trigonometry.
Absolutely not. so called 'Arabic' numerals are based on older Brahmi numerals, which were based on Roman Numerals for 1,2 & 3, then possibly on the Brahmi alphabet. 1, 2 & 3 were (probably) actual counting representations (I, II, III), but shown horizontally rather than vertically. The 2 & 3 probably got joined up over time as a quicker way of writing them, and as the purpose moved from a counting representation (two lines = two items) to a symbolic one (numbers as symbols rather than pictograms of what they represent). Every so often, a powerpoint presentation turns up with some numbers drawn very weirdly (supposedly the 'ancient' form of the numbers), and angles counted arbitrarily (count only internal angles for 4 and 6, count internal AND external for 8, keep adding lines until you have enough angles for 9, and so on). It's an old fantasy that has been around for several hundreds of years, put forward by people who simply can't bear the idea that our representation of numbers came about pretty much spontaneously, and prefer to think they were somehow designed from scratch. Hope this answers your question.
Well, all of our number originated from the Arabic numbers. 1 was made with a little line off the top, which gives it one angle. 2 used to look like a Z, so it would have two angles. then 3, three angles, 4, four angles, and 5, i guess had five angles.
