Fermat point for a tetrahedron

Geometry Level 5

For a A B C \triangle ABC , the Fermat-Torricelli point is the point P P that minimizes the sum of distances P A + P B + P C \overline{PA} + \overline{PB} + \overline{PC} . For a tetrahedron A B C D ABCD , we can define a similar point P P that minimizes the sum of distances P A + P B + P C + P D \overline{PA} + \overline{PB} + \overline{PC} + \overline{PD} . Suppose you're given the tetrahedron with vertices A ( 10 , 0 , 0 ) , B ( 5 , 12 , 0 ) , C ( 5 , 2 , 0 ) , D ( 0 , 0 , 10 ) A(10, 0, 0) , B(5, 12, 0) , C(-5, 2, 0) , D(0, 0, 10) , numerically find P ( x , y , z ) P(x, y, z) that is the minimizing point for the sum of distances from P P to the vertices. As your answer, enter 1 0 4 ( x + y + z ) \lfloor 10^4 (x + y + z) \rfloor
