The flat angles of the triangular corner are 45, 45 and 60 degrees. Find the dihedral that is opposite the planar angle of 60 degrees.

Let α, β, γ be plane angles of a trihedral angle, they correspond to dihedral angles A, B, C.
We have angles α = 45˚, β = 45˚, γ = 60˚.
According to the first theorem of cosines for a trihedral angle, we have:
cos γ = cos α * cos β + sin α * sin β * cos C.
Take cos C out of this expression:
cos C = (cos γ – cos α * cos β) / (sin α * sin β).
cos C = (cos 60 – cos 45 * cos 45) / (sin 45 * sin 45) = ((1/2) – (√2 / 2) ²) / (√3 / 2) ² = (1/2 -1/2) / (√3 / 2) ² = 0.
This cosine value corresponds to an angle of 90˚.
Answer: a dihedral angle opposite a flat angle of 60˚ = 90˚.
