EUCLIDEAN DISTANCE MATRIXc i ===[ ]−1 0 12 N−2 (N −2)! 2 det T1 −D i(−1) N2 N−2 (N −2)! 2 detD i(1167)(1 T D −1i 1 ) (1168)(−1) N2 N−2 (N −2)! 2 1T cof(D i ) T 1 (1169)where D i is the i th principal N −1×N −1 submatrix 5.62 of D ∈ EDM N ,and cof(D i ) is the N −1×N −1 matrix of cofactors [331,4] correspondingto D i . The number of principal 3 × 3 submatrices in D is, of course, equalto the number of triangular facets in the tetrahedron; four (N!/(3!(N −3)!))when N = 4.5.14.3.1.1 Exercise. Sufficiency conditions for an EDM of four points.Triangle inequality (property 4) and area inequality (1165) are conditionsnecessary for D to be an EDM. Prove their sufficiency in conjunction withthe remaining three Euclidean metric properties.5.14.3.2 N = 5Moving to the next level, we might encounter a Euclidean body calledpolychoron: a bounded polyhedron in four dimensions. 5.63 Our polychoronhas five (N!/(4!(N −4)!)) facets, each of them a general tetrahedron whosevolume-square c i is calculated using the same formula; (1167) whereD is the EDM corresponding to the polychoron, and D i is the EDMcorresponding to the i th facet (the principal 4 × 4 submatrix of D ∈ EDM Ncorresponding to the i th tetrahedron). The analogue to triangle & distanceis now polychoron & facet-volume. We could then write another generalized“triangle” inequality like (1165) but in terms of facet volume; [379,IV]√ci ≤ √ c j + √ c k + √ c l + √ c m , i≠j ≠k≠l≠m∈{1... 5} (1170)5.62 Every principal submatrix of an EDM remains an EDM. [235,4.1]5.63 The simplest polychoron is called a pentatope [373]; a regular simplex hence convex.(A pentahedron is a three-dimensional body having five vertices.)

[373, Pyramid]5.14.3.2.1 Exercise. Sufficiency for an EDM of five points.For N = 5, triangle (distance) inequality (5.2), area inequality (1165), andvolume inequality (1170) are conditions necessary for D to be an EDM. Provetheir sufficiency.5.14.3.3 Volume of simplicesThere is no known formula for the volume of a bounded general convexpolyhedron expressed either by halfspace or vertex-description. [391,2.1][282, p.173] [233] [173] [174] Volume is a concept germane to R 3 ; in higherdimensions it is called content. Applying the EDM assertion (5.9.1.0.4)and a result from [61, p.407], a general nonempty simplex (2.12.3) in R N−1corresponding to an EDM D ∈ S N h has content√ c = content(S)√det(−V T N DV N) (1171)where content-square of the unit simplex S ⊂ R N−1 is proportional to itsCayley-Menger determinant;content(S) 2 =[ ]−1 0 12 N−1 (N −1)! 2 det T1 −D([0 e 1 e 2 · · · e N−1 ])where e i ∈ R N−1 and the EDM operator used is D(X) (891).(1172)
