In geometry, a vertex is an angle (shape) associated with a vertex of an n-dimensional polytope. In two dimensions it refers to the angle formed by two intersecting lines, such as at a "corner" (vertex) of a polygon. In higher dimensions there can be more than two lines (edges) meeting at a vertex, making a description of the angle shape more complicated. The term vertex angle is sometimes used synonymously with face angle, i.e. the angle between two edges meeting at a vertex. It may also refer to the (higher-dimensional) interior solid angle at a vertex.

  • In geometry, a vertex is an angle (shape) associated with a vertex of an n-dimensional polytope. In two dimensions it refers to the angle formed by two intersecting lines, such as at a "corner" (vertex) of a polygon. In higher dimensions there can be more than two lines (edges) meeting at a vertex, making a description of the angle shape more complicated. In three dimensions and three-dimensional polyhedra, a vertex angle is a polyhedral angle or n-hedral angle. It is described by a sequence of n face angles, which are the angles formed by two edges of polyhedron meeting at the vertex, or by a sequence of n dihedral angles, which are the angles between two faces sharing the vertex. The angle may be quantified using a single number by the interior solid angle at the vertex (the spherical excess), which is related to the sum of the dihedral angles, or by the angular defect (or excess) of the vertex, which is related to the sum of the face angles, or other metrics such as the polar sine. The simplest type of polyhedral angle is a trihedral angle or trihedron (bounded by three planes), as found at the vertices of a Parallelepiped or tetrahedron. For higher-dimensional polytopes, a vertex angle can be quantified using a higher-dimensional solid angle, i.e. by the portion of the n-sphere around the vertex that is interior to the polytope. Face and dihedral angles also generalize to higher dimensions. The term vertex angle is sometimes used synonymously with face angle, i.e. the angle between two edges meeting at a vertex. It may also refer to the (higher-dimensional) interior solid angle at a vertex. (en)
