The Remarkable Tetron
For \(D\) as vertex of a trihedral angle having edges \(AD\), \(BD\), and \(CD\) (such that the convex hull of \(A,B,C,D\) is a non-degenerate tetrahedron in \(R^3\)), the listed order of \(A,B,C,D\) is called a tetron. Setting \(a = |AB|\), \(b = |BC |\), \(c = |CD|\), \(d = |AD|\), \(m = |AC|\), \(n = |BD|\), and writing \(\overline{n}\) for the dihedral angle defined by the edge \(BD\), the equality \[ m^2n^2 = a^2c^2+ b^2d^2-2abcd(\cos\sphericalangle (BAD)\cdot \cos\sphericalangle (BCD)+\sin\sphericalangle (BAD)\cdot \sin\sphericalangle(BCD)\cdot \cos(\overline{n})) \] is proved. From this the authors derive Ptolemy like inequalities for the cases when the tetrahedron spanned by \(A,B,C,D\) is degenerate, and they also give equalities characterizing this planar case.
