已知3個球心角(A0、B0、C0)及球體半徑R,計算:球面三角的角度(A、B、C)、球面三角的面積、以及球角錐的體積
(涉及角度均為弧度制)
1、計算球面三角形的邊長a、b、c:
a = A0*R; (弧長=弧度*球半徑)
b = B0*R;
c = C0*R;
2、計算球面角:
(1)方法一:基於余弦定理求解:

故,A = acos( (cosa-cosbcosc)/(sinbsinc)),同理可計算球面角B和C
(2)方法二,也可由正弦公式求得

3、計算球面超(spherical excess):
E=A+B+C-Pi (球面三角的內角和減去普通三角的內角和)
球面超的另外一種算法:

其中,a、b、c為球面三角的邊長,s為周長的一半(s = 0.5*(a+b+c))。
4、球面三角面積:
S = E*R^2
5、球角錐體積:
V = S*R/3
#===================================
以三個直角的球面角特例進行驗證計算
Matlab程序如下:
clc;clear
A0 = pi/2; B0 = pi/2; C0 = pi/2;
d = 1; % set diameter of sphere as 1.0
r=d/2;
a = A0*r; b = B0*r; c = C0*r;
s = (a+b+c)/2;
% The 1st method for calculation of Spherical Angle
cosA1 = (cos(a/r)-cos(b/r)*cos(c/r))/(sin(b/r)*sin(c/r));
A1 = acos(cosA1);
disp("Spherical Angle 1:");
disp(A1);
% The 2nd method for calculation of Spherical Angle
sinA2 = (sin((s-b)/r)*sin((s-c)/r)/sin(b/r)/sin(c/r))^0.5;
A2 = asin(sinA2)*2;
disp("Spherical Angle 2:");
disp(A2)
% The 1st method for the calculation of Spherical Excess
E1 = A1*3-pi;
disp("Spherical Excess 1:");
disp(E1);
% The 2nd method for the calculation of Spherical Excess
temp = tan(0.5*s/r) * tan(0.5*(s-a)/r) * tan(0.5*(s-b)/r) * tan(0.5*(s-c)/r);
temp = temp^0.5;
E2 =atan(temp)*4;
disp("Spherical Excess 2:");
disp(E2);
%Surface area of the Spherical Triangle:
SurfArea = E2*r^2;
disp("Surface area of the Spherical Triangle:");
disp(SurfArea);
%Volume of the Spherical Pyramid
VsphPyramid = SurfArea*r/3;
disp("Volume of the Spherical Pyramid:");
disp(VsphPyramid);

注:上圖中“球面積為4piR^2,其1/8應為piR2/2”。
