Abstract
We discuss several relations among visual angles of a rectangle, those of orthogonal axes, and those of a cube. Depending on a viewpoint, a given angle changes its visual angle from 0 to π in radian. There are simple and beautiful relations between visual angles at the vertices of such specified shapes. The determination of the distance from a viewpoint to orthogonal axes is also discussed.
