Abstract

A tetrahedron is called a path tetrahedron, if it has three mutually orthogonal edges that do not intersect at a single point. A tetrahedron is called a 4-ball tetrahedron, if there exists a sphere tangent to all its edges. We derive two-sided tight bounds for dihedral angle sums of such tetrahedra. In particular, we prove that this sum lies in the interval (2π, 2.5π) for path tetrahedra and in [6 arccos 1/3, 3π) for 4-ball tetrahedra. Also some of their useful properties are presented.
