Abstract: Let $au$ be an $n$-simplex and let $g$ be a metric on $au$ with constant curvature $kappa$. The lengths that $g$ assigns to the edges of $au$, along with the value of $kappa$, uniquely determine all of the geometry of $(au,g)$. In this paper we focus on hyperbolic simplices ($kappa=-1$) and develop geometric formulas which rely only on the edge lengths of $au$. Our main results are distance and projection formulas in hyperbolic simplices, as well as a projection formula in Euclidean simplices. We also provide analogous formulas in simplices with arbitrary constant curvature $kappa$.
