==Generalizations== ===Quadrilateral=== In a [[Quadrilateral#Remarkable points and lines in a convex quadrilateral|convex quadrilateral]], the quasiorthocenter ''H'', the "area centroid" ''G'', and the [[quasicircumcenter]] ''O'' are [[collinear]] in this order on the Euler line, and ''HG'' = 2''GO''.<ref>{{citation | last = Myakishev | first = Alexei | journal = Forum Geometricorum | pages = 289β295 | title = On Two Remarkable Lines Related to a Quadrilateral | url = http://forumgeom.fau.edu/FG2006volume6/FG200634.pdf | volume = 6 | year = 2006}}.</ref> ===Tetrahedron=== {{Main article|Tetrahedron#Properties analogous to those of a triangle}} A [[tetrahedron]] is a [[three-dimensional space|three-dimensional]] object bounded by four triangular [[face (geometry)|faces]]. Seven lines associated with a tetrahedron are concurrent at its centroid; its six midplanes intersect at its [[Monge point]]; and there is a circumsphere passing through all of the vertices, whose center is the circumcenter. These points define the "Euler line" of a tetrahedron analogous to that of a triangle. The centroid is the midpoint between its Monge point and circumcenter along this line. The center of the [[twelve-point sphere]] also lies on the Euler line. ===Simplicial polytope=== A [[simplicial polytope]] is a polytope whose facets are all [[simplex|simplices]] (plural of simplex). For example, every polygon is a simplicial polytope. The Euler line associated to such a polytope is the line determined by its centroid and [[circumcenter of mass]]. This definition of an Euler line generalizes the ones above.<ref>{{citation | last1 = Tabachnikov | first1 = Serge | last2 = Tsukerman | first2 = Emmanuel | date = May 2014 | issue = 4 | journal = [[Discrete and Computational Geometry]] | pages = 815β836 | title = Circumcenter of Mass and Generalized Euler Line | doi=10.1007/s00454-014-9597-2 | volume=51| arxiv = 1301.0496 | s2cid = 12307207 }}.</ref> Suppose that <math>P</math> is a polygon.
