In this paper, by using the dual problem which was solved by Feng Luo (Geom. Dedicata 64 (1997), 277-282) and a new method, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for given (n(n + 1))/2 positive real numbers to be the edge lengths of a hyperbolic n-simplex. By using determinants, we also give necessary and sufficient conditions for given (n(n + 1))/2 positive real numbers to be the edge lengths of a spherical n-simplex.
