" means inches, ' means feet.
example: instead of writing 30 inches or 30 feet,
30" and 30' (respectively)

One apostrophe means feet and two means inches.
Also 40degrees 20feet and 50seconds could be written as 40(small circle) 20' 50" when measuring an angle.

That means "inch" in a math way.
"It is the name of a unit of length in a number of different systems, including English units, Imperial units, and United States customary units."
I found this from a website which you can check out.

' means feet and " means inches, so it would be like 30'3"
30 feet 3 inches.

Also...A single (typically an apostrophe) means minutes while a double (a quotation mark) means seconds.
So, 30" is 30 seconds.

the only thing I know for sure is that
" = inches
' = feet
However, today's math, it may have another meaning I an unfamiliar with.
