Descartes Total Angular DefectThe total angular defect is the sum of the Angular Defects over all Vertices of a Polyhedron, wherethe Angular Defect at a given Vertex is the difference between the sum of faceangles and . For any convex Polyhedron, the Descartes total angular defect is
 | (1) |
This is equivalent to the Polyhedral Formula for a closed rectilinear surface, which satisfies
 | (2) |
A Polyhedron with equivalent Verticesis called a Platonic Solid and can be assigned a Schläfli Symbol .It then satisfies
 | (3) |
and
 | (4) |
so
