The 6 edge lengths - associated to the six edges of the tetrahedron. The 12 face angles - there are three of them for each of the four faces of the tetrahedron. The 6 dihedral angles - associated to the six edges of the tetrahedron, since any two faces of the tetrahedron are connected by an edge.
Two sides and the included angle (SAS, side-angle-side) Two sides and an angle not included between them (SSA), if the side length adjacent to the angle is shorter than the other side length. A side and the two angles adjacent to it (ASA) A side, the angle opposite to it and an angle adjacent to it (AAS).

Fig. 3 – Applications of the law of cosines: unknown side and unknown angle. Given triangle sides b and c and angle γ there are sometimes two solutions for a. The theorem is used in solution of triangles, i.e., to find (see Figure 3): the third side of a triangle if two sides and the angle between them is known: = + ;
In spherical trigonometry, the law of cosines and derived identities such as Napier's analogies have precise duals swapping central angles measuring the sides and dihedral angles at the vertices. In the infinitesimal limit, the law of cosines for sides reduces to the planar law of cosines and two of Napier's analogies reduce to Mollweide's ...
Two clusters of faces of the bilunabirotunda, the lunes (each lune featuring two triangles adjacent to opposite sides of one square), can be aligned with a congruent patch of faces on the rhombicosidodecahedron. If two bilunabirotundae are aligned this way on opposite sides of the rhombicosidodecahedron, then a cube can be put between the ...
An easy formula for these properties is that in any three points in any shape, there is a triangle formed. Triangle ABC (example) has 3 points, and therefore, three angles; angle A, angle B, and angle C. Angle A, B, and C will always, when put together, will form 360 degrees. So, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 360°
[5] [6] These pyramids cover each square, replacing it with four equilateral triangles, so that the resulting polyhedron has 14 equilateral triangles as its faces. A polyhedron with only equilateral triangles as faces is called a deltahedron. There are only eight different convex deltahedra, one of which is the triaugmented triangular prism.
