Abstract
Let V be the volume and r inradius of a given n-simplex A = A1A2 ... An+1 in n-dimensional Euclidean space En (n ≥ 2). For any i ∈ {1, 2,.., n} let Fi be the (n−1)-dimensional content of (n−1)-simplex A i = A1 ... Ai−1Ai+1 ... An+1, let hi = AiA′i be the altitude of A from vertex Ai, i.e. the distance from Ai to the hyperplane ai = A1 ... Ai−1Ai+1 ... An+1′ and let ρi be the radius of i-th escribed hypersphere of A. Let
be the ‘total area’ of A. For every i ∈ {1, 2,..., n + 1} we have
