If G is the intersection of diagonals of a parallelogram ABCD and O is any point, then $\vec{OA}+\vec{OB}+\vec{OC}+\vec{OD}=$ |
$2\vec{OG}$ $4\vec{OG}$ $5\vec{OG}$ $3\vec{OG}$ |
$4\vec{OG}$ |
Taking O as the origin, let the position vectors of A, B, C and D be $\vec a,\vec b,\vec c$ and $\vec d$ respectively. In ΔOAC, G is the mid-point of AC. $∴\vec{OA}+\vec{OC}=2\vec{OG}$ ...(i) In ΔOBD, G is the mid-point of BC. $∴\vec{OB}+\vec{OD}=2\vec{OG}$ ...(ii) Adding (i) and (ii), we get $\vec{OA}+\vec{OB}+\vec{OC}+\vec{OD}=4\vec{OG}$ |
