A simple sum for simplices

General Mathematics 2022-02-11 v1

Abstract

We give a vector identity for n+2n+2 points in Rn\mathbb R^n. It follows as a corollary that when nn is odd the sum of the signed volumes of the nn-simplices is zero, and when nn is even, the alternating sum of the signed volumes is zero.
