COMMENTS

If O is the center of a regular tetrahedron ABCD, then the central angle

AOB is this number; exact value is pi-arccos(1/3). The (minimal) central

angle of the other four regular polyhedra are as follows:

cube, A137914

octahedron, A019669

dodecahedron, A156547

icosahedron, A105199.

FORMULA

Start with vertices (1,1,1), (1,-1,-1,), (-1,1,-1), and (1,-1,1) and

apply the formula for cosine of the angle between two vectors.

EXAMPLE

pi-arccos(1/3)=1.910633236249018556..., or, in degrees,

109.471220634490691369245999339962435963006843100...
