Dihedral Di*he"dral, a. [Gr. di- = di`s- twice + ? a seat, bottom, base, fr. ? to sit. Cf. Diedral.] Having two plane faces; as, the dihedral summit of a crystal. Dihedral angle, the angular space contained between planes which intersect. It is measured by the angle made by any two lines at right angles to the two planes.
