===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.
