Science - Mathematics & Statistics / geometria / solidi platonici
Italian term or phrase: angoloidi
La frase intera è "Un esempio classico di bellezza geometrico-matematica possiamo trovarlo nei poliedri regolari, cioè di quei solidi le cui facce sono poligoni regolari e i cui angoloidi sono tutti uguali."

TS geom., la parte di spazio compresa fra n diedri, i cui spigoli sono semirette aventi un vertice comune
http://www.demauroparavia.it/5965

To get a solid angle, imagine three or more planes passing through the center of a unit sphere. The area of the surface between the planes on the unit sphere is the solid angle, in steradians. The angle between two planes is termed dihedral, between three trihedral, between any number more than three polyhedral.

I decided to go with this one even though I'm not sure (based on your second example) that the more general term "solid angles" wouldn't be more technically correct in this case - but that would mean that the use of "angoloidi" in the original text was incorrect - my job was to translate, not correct mathematical inaccuracies, so... Thank you very much to everyone for their suggestions!

"Solid angle" è la corrente traduzione inglese per la "sterea gonia" del Timeo di Platone.
Qui il testo bilingue:

Se poi è una traduzione tecnica che ti occorre, allora cedo il campo agli esperti!

Dimenticavo che "stereos" in greco significa appunto "solido, duro", da cui la definizione generica di "solid angle".

solid angles ("angoloids")


Explanation:
angoloide [an-go-lòi-de] n.m. [pl. -i] (geom.) porzione di spazio compresa entro la figura formata da più diedri aventi il vertice in comune ¶ Comp. di angolo e -oide.

(c) Petrini S.r.l. Garzanti Linguistica, 2004

= portions of space included within the figure formed by several dihedra having a common vertex see http://www.iisalessandrini.it/progetti/studenti/mbertolo/ang... and

disagree  Richard Benham: "Angoloid" is not an English word. I think you mean "anguloid"--which is a rarity and which I would avoid.
