Properties & Relations  (2)

PolyhedronAngle[ℛ,{p1,p2}] is equivalent to DihedralAngle[{p1,p2},{v,w}] where v and w are vectors in adjacent faces of {p1,p2} in a polyhedron ℛ:

PolyhedronAngle[ℛ,p] is equivalent to SolidAngle[p,{u1,…,ud}] where u1,…,ud are vectors adjacent to the point p in a polyhedron ℛ:
