Pohlke-Schwarz theorem

From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Jump to: navigation, search

Any complete plane quadrilateral can serve as the parallel projection of a tetrahedron similar to a given one.

The theorem was first stated in a different form by K. Pohlke (1853), and was generalized by H.A. Schwarz (1864).
