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:
“It is sentimentalism to assume that the teaching of life can always be fitted to the child’s interests, just as it is empty formalism to force the child to parrot the formulas of adult society. Interests can be created and stimulated.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
