The sum of measures of the angles of a simplex (Q464804)

The sum of the inner angles of a plane triangle is constant. This fact is known since the time of Euclid. The authors try to generalize this idea to the sum of the polyhedral angles of \(n\)-dimensional simplices. To do so they consider particular families of simplices and a suitable definition for the measure of a polyhedral angle. In particular, the authors show that in dimension three and considering orthocentric tetrahedra, if they use the measure arising from the concept of polar sine, then the sum of the measures of the corner trihedral angles is \(\pi\).
