An irregular tetrahedron |
2007-05-06 |
|
Carrie pose la question : Assume a tetrahedron (not regular) with vertices A, B, C, O, in which vertex
A is at (0,0,0) in Cartesian space, line-segment AB is the x-axis, and face
ABC defines the x-y plane (but no edge is parallel to the y-axis).
Assuming that the xyz coordinates of O are all positive, and given the
lengths of all of the line-segments (AB, BC, AC, AO, BO, CO),
but none of the angles, what is the formula for calculating the
xyz coordinates of O? Penny Nom lui répond. |
