A tetrahedron in which each edge is equal to its opposite is an {isosceles} tetrahedron. We will use vectors to prove the following statement: A tetrahedron OABC is isosceles if, and only if the centroid of the parallelepiped defined by the three edges OA, OB, and OC is an ex-center of the tetrahedron OABC.
Keywords: Isosceles tetrahedron, in-center, ex-center, centroid, circum-center.
