Alberto Magnus' definition of angle:
Para una superficie un ángulo está encerrado por medio de líneas, dado que es el justo medio entre una cantidad de una dimensión y otra de dos. No obstante, un ángulo sólido termina en superficies, siendo el justo medio entre una superficie, que tiene dos dimensiones, y un sólido, que tiene tres dimensiones.
Thanks very much.

medium
"In his comments on the Elements, Albertus Magnus concluded that ... an angle was a relation because the angle was a 'medium' between a line and a surface" (Tummers, 1984)
"Happy" sounds to me out of place in a mathematical description..
If I had to render "justo", I would say "is precisely the medium."

Comment: "thanks, Translatol. I had used medium, in fact, but wanted other opinions before committing. "

golden mean
The dictionary that I have translates "justo medio" as "golden mean".
Golden mean as per definition in another dictionary is:
1. The proportional relation between two divisions of line or two dimension of a plane figure such that short : long :: long : (short + long).
2. The middle between extremes
