    [This review covers both the underlying paper and the paper below.] In the first of these papers, the author obtains a geometric inequality for finitely many points on an \((n - 1)\)-dimensional sphere in \(E^n\), which involves the \(k\)-dimensional volume and the circumradius of a \(k\)-dimensional simplex. In the second paper, the area of the bisection plane of a dihedral angle of a simplex in \(E^n\) is the area of that part of the plane that lies inside the simplex. The author proves some inequalities for these areas.
