The 24-cell can be constructed from 96 equilateral triangles of edge length √ 2, where the three vertices of each triangle are located 90° = π / 2 away from each other on the 3-sphere. They form 48 √ 2 -edge tetrahedra (the cells of the three 16-cells ), centered at the 24 mid-edge-radii of the 24-cell.
Fig 1. Construction of the first isogonic center, X(13). When no angle of the triangle exceeds 120°, this point is the Fermat point. In Euclidean geometry, the Fermat point of a triangle, also called the Torricelli point or Fermat–Torricelli point, is a point such that the sum of the three distances from each of the three vertices of the triangle to the point is the smallest possible [1] or ...
The vertices of triangles are associated not only with spatial position but also with other values used to render the object correctly. Most attributes of a vertex represent vectors in the space to be rendered. These vectors are typically 1 (x), 2 (x, y), or 3 (x, y, z) dimensional and can include a fourth homogeneous coordinate (w).
as can be seen by multiplying the previous formula by x n+1, to get the volume under the n-simplex as a function of its vertex distance x from the origin, differentiating with respect to x, at = / (where the n-simplex side length is 1), and normalizing by the length / + of the increment, (/ (+), …, / (+)), along the normal vector.
The 120-cell whose coordinates are given above of long radius √ 8 = 2 √ 2 ≈ 2.828 and edge-length 2 / φ 2 = 3− √ 5 ≈ 0.764 can be constructed in this manner just outside a 600-cell of long radius φ 2, which is smaller than √ 8 in the same ratio of ≈ 0.926; it is in the golden ratio to the edge length of the 600-cell ...
A point in the interior of a triangle is the center of an inellipse of the triangle if and only if the point lies in the interior of the triangle whose vertices lie at the midpoints of the original triangle's sides. [3]: p.139 For a given point inside that medial triangle, the inellipse with its center at that point is unique. [3]: p.142
The circumcenter of a tetrahedron can be found as intersection of three bisector planes. A bisector plane is defined as the plane centered on, and orthogonal to an edge of the tetrahedron. With this definition, the circumcenter C of a tetrahedron with vertices x 0, x 1, x 2, x 3 can be formulated as matrix-vector product: [35]
When θ = π /2, ADB becomes a right triangle, r + s = c, and the original Pythagorean theorem is regained. One proof observes that triangle ABC has the same angles as triangle CAD, but in opposite order. (The two triangles share the angle at vertex A, both contain the angle θ, and so also have the same third angle by the triangle postulate.)
