Polyhedra

Orthocentric tetrahedron

In geometry, an orthocentric tetrahedron is a tetrahedron where all three pairs of opposite edges are perpendicular. It is also known as an orthogonal tetrahedron since orthogonal means perpendicular. It was first studied by Simon Lhuilier in 1782, and got the name orthocentric tetrahedron by G. de Longchamps in 1890. In an orthocentric tetrahedron the four altitudes are concurrent. This common point is called the orthocenter, and it has the property that it is the symmetric point of the center of the circumscribed sphere with respect to the centroid. Hence the orthocenter coincides with the Monge point of the tetrahedron. (Wikipedia).

Orthocenters exist! | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 10 | NJ Wildberger

In classical hyperbolic geometry, orthocenters of triangles do not in general exist. Here in universal hyperbolic geometry, they do. This is a crucial building block for triangle geometry in this subject. The dual of an orthocenter is called an ortholine---also not seen in classical hyperb

The Three / Four bridge in Triangle Geometry: Incentres and Orthocentres | Six 6 | Wild Egg

We look at how to cross the Three / Four bridge geometrically: in both directions. This connects with some classical triangle geometry, involving triangle centres going back to ancient Greek geometry. We will touch base with the algebraic orientation to angle bisection, modifying a little

AlgTop8: Polyhedra and Euler's formula

We investigate the five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octohedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron. Euler's formula relates the number of vertices, edges and faces. We give a proof using a triangulation argument and the flow down a sphere. This is the eighth lecture in this beginner's
