Example 4. Let the opposite edges of tetrahedron be pairwise perpendicular. Try to prove: the midpoints of the six edges of tetrahedron lie on the same sphere.
Solution
Proof: As shown in the figure, let the midpoints of , and be respectively, and .
Since , we have .
Similarly,
.
Therefore, is a parallelogram.
Thus, is a rectangle. The intersection point of its diagonals and satisfies
Similarly, is also a rectangle, and the intersection point of its diagonals and is the midpoint of , hence
Therefore,
This also indicates that lie on a sphere with as the center and as the radius.
