Problem 554

AMC 12 late, AIME early
Geometry Difficulty 5.0 Prove it

167. Prove that if all plane angles of a trihedral angle are obtuse, then all dihedral angles are also obtuse.

This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, read the official solution, then mark yourself honestly — the ladder only means something if the record is true.

Official solution

167. Use the first cosine theorem (see problem 166).
