More Vector Formulas in A General Tetrahedron
If OABC forms a general tetrahedron with a vertex O as the origin and vectors a, b and c represent the positions of the vertices A, B, and C with respect to O, then the radius of the insphere is given by:
and the radius of the circumsphere is given by:
which gives the radius of the twelve-point sphere:
where:
In the formulas throughout this section, the scalar a2 represents the inner vector product a·a; similarly b2 and c2.
The vector positions of various centers are as follows:
The centroid
The incenter
The circumcenter
The Monge point
The Euler line relationships are:
where T is twelve-point center.

Famous quotes containing the words formulas and/or general:
“That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The tremendous outflow of intellectuals that formed such a prominent part of the general exodus from Soviet Russia in the first years of the Bolshevist Revolution seems today like the wanderings of some mythical tribe whose bird-signs and moon-signs I now retrieve from the desert dust.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
