Written identically as 角, かく means a geometric or abstract angle while かど means a physical corner (of a street or object).
角 refers to a sharp outer corner or edge of an object or street, while 片隅 refers to a secluded inner nook of a space, so the two describe different kinds of 'corner'.
角 (かど) means 'corner' or 'edge' and is written with a different kanji from 廉 (かど), which means the 'grounds' for an accusation; the two share only pronunciation.
