teorema de Commandino

Commandino's theorem Medians of a tetrahedron intersecting in a point {estilo de exibição S} (its centroid), de tal modo que {estilo de exibição {fratura {|AS|}{|SS_{BCD}|}}={fratura {|BS|}{|SS_{ACD}|}}={fratura {|CS|}{|SS_{ABD}|}}={fratura {|DS|}{|SS_{abc}|}}={fratura {3}{1}}} teorema de Commandino, named after Federico Commandino (1509–1575), states that the four medians of a tetrahedron are concurrent at a point S, which divides them in a 3:1 ratio. In a tetrahedron a median is a line segment that connects a vertex with the centroid of the opposite face – that is, the centroid of the opposite triangle. The point S is also the centroid of the tetrahedron.[1][2][3] Conteúdo 1 História 2 Generalizações 2.1 Full generality 2.2 Reusch's theorem 2.3 Varignon's theorem 3 Referências 4 External links History The theorem is attributed to Commandino, who stated, in his work De Centro Gravitatis Solidorum (The Center of Gravity of Solids, 1565), that the four medians of the tetrahedron are concurrent. No entanto, according to the 19th century scholar Guillaume Libri, Francesco Maurolico (1494–1575) claimed to have found the result earlier. Libri nevertheless thought that it had been known even earlier to Leonardo da Vinci, who seemed to have used it in his work. Julian Coolidge shared that assessment but pointed out that he couldn't find any explicit description or mathematical treatment of the theorem in da Vinci's works.[4] Other scholars have speculated that the result may have already been known to Greek mathematicians during antiquity.[5] Generalizations Commandino's theorem has a direct analog for simplexes of any dimension:[6] Deixar {displaystyle Delta } seja um {estilo de exibição d} -simplex of some dimension {displaystyle d>1} dentro {estilo de exibição mathbb {R} ^{n};(d,nin mathbb {N} ,ngeq d)} e deixar {estilo de exibição V_{0},V_{1},ldots ,V_{p}} be its vertices. Além disso, deixar {estilo de exibição ell _{0},ell _{1},ldots ,ell _{d}} , be the medians of {displaystyle Delta } , the lines joining each vertex {estilo de exibição V_{eu}} with the centroid of the opposite {estilo de exibição (d-1)} -dimensional facet {estilo de exibição V_{0}ldots V_{i-1}V_{i+1}ldots V_{d}} . Então, these lines intersect each other in a point {estilo de exibição S} , in a ratio of {estilo de exibição d:1} . Full generality The former analog is easy to prove via the following, more general result, which is analogous to the way levers in physics work:[7] Deixar {estilo de exibição m} e {estilo de exibição k} be natural numbers, so that in an {estilo de exibição mathbb {R} } -vector space {estilo de exibição {matemática {V}}} , {displaystyle m+k} pairwise different points {estilo de exibição X_{1},pontos ,X_{m},Y_{1},pontos ,Y_{k}dentro {matemática {V}}} are given. Deixar {estilo de exibição S_{X}} be the centroid of the points {estilo de exibição X_{eu};(i=1,dots ,m)} , deixar {estilo de exibição S_{S}} be the centroid of the points {estilo de exibição Y_{j};(j=1,dots ,k)} , e deixar {estilo de exibição S} be the centroid of all of these {displaystyle m+k} pontos. Então, um tem {displaystyle S=S_{X}+{fratura {k}{m+k}}(S_{S}-S_{X})={fratura {m}{m+k}}S_{X}+{fratura {k}{m+k}}S_{S}.} Em particular, the centroid {estilo de exibição S} lies on the line {estilo de exibição {overline {{S_{X}}{S_{S}}}}} and divides it in a ratio of {estilo de exibição k:m} . Reusch's theorem The previous theorem has further interesting consequences other than the aforementioned generalization of Commandino's theorem. It can be used to prove the following theorem about the centroid of a tetrahedron, first described in the Mathematische Unterhaltungen by the German physicist Friedrich Eduard Reusch [do]:[8][9] One may find the centroid of a tetrahedron by taking the midpoints of two pairs of two of its opposite edges and connecting the corresponding midpoints through their respective midline. The intersection point of both midlines will be the centroid of the tetrahedron.

Since a tetrahedron has six edges in three opposite pairs, one obtains the following corollary:[8] In a tetrahedron, the three midlines corresponding to opposite edge midpoints are concurrent, and their intersection point is the centroid of the tetrahedron. Varignon's theorem A specific case of Reusch's theorem where all four vertices of a tetrahedron are coplanar and lie on a single plane, thereby degenerating into a quadrilateral, Varignon's theorem, named after Pierre Varignon, states the following:[10][11] Let a quadrilateral in {estilo de exibição mathbb {R} ^{2}} be given. Then the two midlines connecting opposite edge midpoints intersect in the centroid of the quadrilateral and are divided in half by it. References ^ Claudi Alsina, Roger B.
