Abstract

We submit an outline for the solved cases of Tammes problem. We give an elementary proof that the Platonic polihedra; tetrahedom, octaedronm and icosahedrom are the solutions for 4, 5 and 12 respectively, based on the determination of the triangles with minImun area. We higlight the concept of star of a vertex, and how the determination of the minimun area stars lead to the solution for the cases 8 and 24.
