Incenter of a tetrahedron

ID: incenter-of-a-tetrahedron

The center of the sphere tangent to all four faces is the positive face-area-weighted combination of the opposite vertices. If is the volume and the total face area, its distance from each face is . Indeed its weight for vertex is and the corresponding altitude is , so their product is the common distance. Positive weights place it inside the tetrahedron.
