It's called a trihedral angle. polyhedral angles

Let us consider three rays a, b, c, emanating from the same point and not lying in the same plane. A trihedral angle (abc) is a figure composed of "three flat angles (ab), (bc) and (ac) (Fig. 2). These angles are called the faces of a trihedral angle, and their sides are edges, the common vertex of the flat angles is called The dihedral angles formed by the faces of a trihedral angle are called dihedral angles of a trihedral angle.

The concept of a polyhedral angle is defined similarly (Fig. 3).

Polyhedron

In stereometry, figures in space, called bodies, are studied. Visually, a (geometric) body must be imagined as a part of space occupied by a physical body and bounded by a surface.

A polyhedron is a body whose surface consists of a finite number of flat polygons (Fig. 4). A polyhedron is called convex if it lies on one side of the plane of every flat polygon on its surface. The common part of such a plane and the surface of a convex polyhedron is called a face. The faces of a convex polyhedron are flat convex polygons. The sides of the faces are called the edges of the polyhedron, and the vertices are called the vertices of the polyhedron.

Let us explain what was said on the example of a familiar cube (Fig. 5). The cube is a convex polyhedron. Its surface consists of six squares: ABCD, BEFC, .... They are its faces. The edges of the cube are the sides of these squares: AB, BC, BE,.... The vertices of the cube are the vertices of the squares: A, B, C, D, E, .... The cube has six faces, twelve edges and eight vertices.

The simplest polyhedra - prisms and pyramids, which will be the main object of our study - we will give definitions that, in essence, do not use the concept of a body. They will be defined as geometric figures with indication of all points of space belonging to them. The concept of a geometric body and its surface in general case will be given later.

TEXT EXPLANATION OF THE LESSON:

In planimetry, one of the objects of study is the angle.

An angle is a geometric figure consisting of a point - the vertex of the angle and two rays emanating from this point.

Two angles, one side, which are common and the other two are a continuation of one another, are called adjacent in planimetry.

The compass can be viewed as a model of a flat angle.

Recall the concept of a dihedral angle.

This is a figure formed by a straight line a and two half-planes with a common boundary a that do not belong to the same plane in geometry is called a dihedral angle. Half planes are the faces of a dihedral angle. The straight line a is the edge of the dihedral angle.

The roof of the house clearly demonstrates the dihedral angle.

But the roof of the house in figure two is made in the form of a figure formed from six flat corners with a common vertex so that the corners are taken in a certain order and each pair of adjacent corners, including the first and last, has a common side. What is this type of roof called?

In geometry, a figure made up of angles

And the angles that make up this angle are called flat angles. The sides of flat angles are called edges of a polyhedral angle. Point O is called the vertex of the corner.

Examples of polyhedral angles can be found in the tetrahedron and cuboid.

The faces of the tetrahedron DBA, ABC, DBC form a polyhedral angle BADC. More often it is called a trihedral angle.

In a parallelepiped, faces AA1D1D, ABCD, AA1B1B form a trihedral angle AA1DB.

Well, the roof of the house is made in the form of a hexagonal corner. It consists of six flat corners.

A number of properties hold for a polyhedral angle. Let's formulate them and prove them. It says here that the statement

First, for any convex polyhedral angle there is a plane intersecting all its edges.

Consider for proof the polyhedral angle OA1A2 A3…An.

By definition, it is convex. An angle is called convex if it lies on one side of the plane of each of its flat angles.

Since by the condition this angle is convex, then the points O, A1, A2, A3, An lie on one side of the plane OA1A2

Let us draw the midline KM of the triangle OA1A2 and choose from the edges OA3, OA4, OAn the edge that forms the smallest dihedral angle with the OCM plane. Let this be the edge OAi. (Oa total)

Let us consider the half-plane α with the CM boundary dividing the dihedral angle OKMAi into two dihedral angles. All vertices from A to An lie on one side of the plane α, and point O on the other side. Therefore, the plane α intersects all edges of the polyhedral angle. The assertion has been proven.

Convex polyhedral angles have another important property.

The sum of the plane angles of a convex polyhedral angle is less than 360°.

Consider a convex polyhedral angle with a vertex at point O. By virtue of the proven statement, there exists a plane that intersects all its edges.

Let us draw such a plane α, let it intersect the edges of the angle at points A1, A2, A3, and so on An.

The plane α will cut off the triangle from the outer area of ​​the flat angle. The sum of the angles is 180°. We get that the sum of all plane angles from А1ОА2 to АnОА1 is equal to the expression we transform, this expression we regroup the terms, we get

In this expression, the amounts indicated in brackets are the sums of the plane angles of the trihedral angle, and as you know, they are greater than the third plane angle.

This inequality can be written for all trihedral angles forming a given polyhedral angle.

Therefore, we obtain the following continuation of the equality

The answer obtained proves that the sum of the plane angles of a convex polyhedral angle is less than 360 degrees.

Let three rays be givena, b ands s common start pointO (Fig. 1.1). These three rays do not necessarily lie in the same plane. In figure 1.2, the raysb andwith lie in a planeR, a raya does not lie in this plane.

Raysa, b andwith pairs define three flat angles distinguished by arcs (Fig. 1.3).

Consider a figure consisting of the three angles indicated above and the part of space bounded by these flat angles. This spatial figure is calledtrihedral angle (Fig. 2).

Raysa, b and with callededges of a trihedral angle, and the corners: = AOC, = AOB,

= BOC , limiting the trihedral angle, - itsfaces. These corners formtrihedral surface. DotO calledvertex of a trihedral angle. A trihedral angle can be denoted as follows: OABC

Having carefully examined all the polyhedral angles shown in Figure 3, we can conclude that each of the polyhedral angles has the same number of edges and faces:

4 faces and one vertex;

    a five-sided corner has 5 edges, 5 faces and one vertex;


  • a hexagonal corner has 6 edges, 6 faces and one vertex, etc.

Polyhedral angles are convex and non-convex.

Imagine that we took four rays with a common origin, as in Figure 4. In this case, we gotnon-convex polyhedral angle.

Definition 1. A polyhedral angle is called a convex angle,if helies on one side of the plane of each of its faces.

In other words, a convex polyhedral angle can always be placed by any of its faces on some plane. You can see that in the case shown in Figure 4, this is not always possible. The tetrahedral angle shown in Figure 4 is non-convex.

Note that in our tutorial, if we say “polyhedral angle”, we mean that it is convex. If the considered polyhedral angle is non-convex, this will be discussed separately.

    A polyhedral angle is called convex if it is a convex figure, i.e., together with any two of its points, it entirely contains the segment connecting them. The figure shows examples of convex and non-convex polyhedral angles. Property. The sum of all plane angles of a convex polyhedral angle is less than 360°.

    Measurement of polyhedral angles

    Since the degree value of a developed dihedral angle is measured by the degree value of the corresponding linear angle and is equal to 180°, we will assume that the degree value of the entire space, which consists of two developed dihedral angles, is 360°. The value of a polyhedral angle, expressed in degrees, shows what part of the space the given polyhedral angle occupies. For example, the trihedral angle of a cube occupies one eighth of the space and, therefore, its degree value is 360o:8 = 45o. The trihedral angle in a regular n-gonal prism is equal to half the dihedral angle at the side edge. Considering that this dihedral angle is equal, we obtain that the trihedral angle of the prism is equal.

    Slide 8

    Measurement of trihedral angles*

    We derive a formula expressing the value of a trihedral angle in terms of its dihedral angles. Let us describe a unit sphere near the vertex S of the trihedral angle and denote the points of intersection of the edges of the trihedral angle with this sphere A, B, C. The planes of the faces of the trihedral angle divide this sphere into six pairwise equal spherical digons corresponding to the dihedral angles of the given trihedral angle. The spherical triangle ABC and the spherical triangle A "B" C symmetric to it are the intersection of three digons. Therefore, the double sum of the dihedral angles is 360o plus the quadruple value of the trihedral angle, or  SA + SB + SC = 180o + 2SABC.

    Measurement of polyhedral angles*

    Let SA1…An be a convex n-faced angle.

Polyhedral angles can also be measured by numbers. Indeed, three hundred and sixty degrees of the whole space corresponds to the number 2π. Passing from degrees to numbers in the resulting formula, we will have: SA1+ …+SAn = π(n – 2) + 2SA1…An.

Definitions. Let's take several angles (Fig. 37): ASB, BSC, CSD, which, adjoining one another in series, are located in the same plane around the common vertex S.

Let us rotate the angle plane ASB around the common side SB so that this plane makes some dihedral angle with the plane BSC. Then, without changing the resulting dihedral angle, we rotate it around the straight line SC so that the BSC plane makes some dihedral angle with the CSD plane. Let's continue this sequential rotation around each common side. If in this case the last side of SF is combined with the first side of SA, then a figure is formed (Fig. 38), which is called polyhedral angle. Angles ASB, BSC,... are called flat corners or faces, their sides SA, SB, ... are called ribs, and the common vertex S- summit multifaceted angle.

Each edge is also an edge of some dihedral angle; therefore, in a polyhedral angle, there are as many dihedral angles and as many flat angles as there are all edges in it. The smallest number of faces in a polyhedral angle is three; this angle is called trihedral. There may be four-sided, five-sided, etc. angles.

A polyhedral angle is denoted either by a single letter S placed at the vertex, or by a series of letters SABCDE, of which the first denotes the vertex, and the others denote the edges in the order in which they are located.

A polyhedral angle is called convex if it is all located on one side of the plane of each of its faces, which is indefinitely extended. Such, for example, is the angle shown in drawing 38. On the contrary, the angle in drawing 39 cannot be called convex, since it is located on both sides of the ASB face or the BSC face.

If all faces of a polyhedral angle are intersected by a plane, then a polygon is formed in the section ( abcde ). In a convex polyhedral angle, this polygon is also convex.

We will consider only convex polyhedral angles.

Theorem. In a trihedral angle, each flat angle is less than the sum of the other two flat angles.

Let in the trihedral angle SABC (Fig. 40) the largest of the flat angles be the angle ASC.

Let us plot the angle ASD on this angle, which is equal to the angle ASB, and draw some straight line AC intersecting SD at some point D. Put SB = SD. Connecting B with A and C, we get \(\Delta\)ABC, in which

AD+DC< АВ + ВС.

Triangles ASD and ASB are congruent because they each contain an equal angle between equal sides: hence AD ​​= AB. Therefore, if we discard the equal terms AD and AB in the derived inequality, we get that DC< ВС.

Now we notice that triangles SCD and SCB have two sides of one equal to two sides of the other, and the third sides are not equal; in this case, a larger angle lies opposite the larger of these sides; means,

∠CSD< ∠ CSВ.

Adding the angle ASD to the left side of this inequality, and the angle ASB equal to it to the right side, we obtain the inequality that was required to be proved:

∠ASC< ∠ CSB + ∠ ASB.

We have proved that even the largest flat angle is less than the sum of the other two angles. So the theorem is proven.

Consequence. Subtract from both parts of the last inequality in the angle ASB or in the angle CSB; we get:

∠ASC - ∠ASB< ∠ CSB;

∠ASC - ∠CSB< ∠ ASB.

Considering these inequalities from right to left, and taking into account that the angle ASC as the largest of the three angles is greater than the difference of the other two angles, we conclude that in a trihedral angle, each plane angle is greater than the difference of the other two angles.

Theorem. In a convex polyhedral angle, the sum of all planar angles is less than 4d (360°) .

Let's intersect the faces (Fig. 41) of the convex angle SABCDE with some plane; from this in the section we get a convex n-gon ABCDE.

Applying the theorem proved earlier to each of the trihedral angles whose vertices are at points A, B, C, D and E, paholim:

∠ABC< ∠ABS + ∠SВC, ∠BCD < ∠BCS + ∠SCD и т. д.

Let's add all these inequalities term by term. Then on the left side we get the sum of all angles of the polygon ABCDE, which is equal to 2 dn - 4d , and on the right - the sum of the angles of the triangles ABS, SBC, etc., except for those angles that lie at the vertex S. Denoting the sum of these last angles by the letter X , we get after addition:

2dn - 4d < 2dn - x .

Since in differences 2 dn - 4d and 2 dn - x minuends are the same, then for the first difference to be less than the second, it is necessary that the subtrahend 4 d was more than subtracted X ; means 4 d > X , i.e. X < 4d .

The simplest cases of equality of trihedral angles

Theorems. Trihedral angles are equal if they have:

1) by an equal dihedral angle enclosed between two respectively equal and equally spaced plane angles, or

2) along an equal plane angle enclosed between two respectively equal and equally spaced dihedral angles.

1) Let S and S 1 be two trihedral angles (Fig. 42), in which ∠ASB = ∠A 1 S 1 B 1 , ∠ASC = ∠A 1 S 1 C 1 (and these equal angles are equally located) and dihedral the angle AS is equal to the dihedral angle A 1 S 1 .

Let us embed the angle S 1 into the angle S so that the points S 1 and S, the lines S 1 A 1 and SA, and the planes A 1 S 1 B 1 and ASB coincide. Then the edge S 1 B 1 will go along SB (due to the equality of angles A 1 S 1 B 1 and ASB), the plane A 1 S 1 C 1 will go along ASC (due to the equality of dihedral angles), and the edge S 1 C 1 will go along the edge SC (due to the equality of the angles A 1 S 1 C 1 and ASC). Thus, the trihedral angles will be combined by all their edges, i.e. they will be equal.

2) The second criterion, like the first one, is proved by an embedding.

Symmetric polyhedral angles

As you know, vertical angles are equal when it comes to angles formed by straight lines or planes. Let's see if this statement is true for polyhedral angles.

We continue (Fig. 43) all the edges of the angle SABCDE beyond the vertex S, then another polyhedral angle SA 1 B 1 C 1 D 1 E 1 is formed, which can be called vertical with respect to the first corner. It is easy to see that both angles have equal plane and dihedral angles, respectively, but both are in reverse order. Indeed, if we imagine an observer who looks from outside the polyhedral angle at its vertex, then the edges SA, SB, SC, SD, SE will seem to him to be located in a counterclockwise direction, while looking at the angle SA 1 B 1 C 1 D 1 E 1 , he sees the edges SA 1 , SВ 1 , ... located clockwise.

Polyhedral angles with respectively equal plane and dihedral angles, but located in the reverse order, cannot be combined at all when embedding; that means they are not equal. Such angles are called symmetrical(relative to the top S). More about the symmetry of figures in space will be discussed below.
