Problem
Let be a regular tetrahedron. Let
be the regular tetrahedron whose vertices are the centers of the faces of
. Let
be the circumcenter of either tetrahedron. Given a point
different from
, let
be the midpoint of the points of intersection of the ray
with
and
. Let
be the set of eight points m(P) where P is a vertex of either
or
. What is the volume of the convex hull of
divided by the volume of
? Express your
answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Solution 1
Connect with the 4 vertices of
. Extend the line made by connecting the top vertex of
with
, intersecting at the base/vertex of
.
equals to
regular tetrahedron with
protruding tetrahedrons.
