Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to state and prove a theorem (the CMS Theorem) which generalizes the familiar Ceva's Theorem and Menelaus' Theorem of elementary Euclidean geometry. The theorem concernsn -acrons (generalizations of n-gons) in affine space of any number of dimensions and makes assertions about circular products of ratios of lengths, areas, volumes, etc. In particular it contains, as special cases, many results in this area proved by earlier authors. |
