On a 3D Extension of the Simson-Wallace theorem
Original language description
: The following 3D extension of the Simson-Wallace theorem is proved by a method which differs from that used in the past (Theorem 1): Let K,L,M,N be orthogonal projections of a point P to the faces BCD, ACD, ABD, and ABC of a tetrahedron ABCD. Then, allpoints P with the property that the tetrahedron KLMN has a constant volume belong to a cubic surface (1). Next, the main theorem (Theorem 2) is proved which states that also the converse of Theorem 1 holds. Furthermore, we verify Theorem 2 for a regulartetrahedron by descriptive geometry methods using dynamic geometry software. To do this we take advantage of the fact that this cubic surface can be represented by a parametric system of conics which lie in mutually parallel planes (Theorem 3).
