If G denotes the centroid of "Delta"\ A ...

If `G` denotes the centroid of `"Delta"\ A B C ,\ ` then write the value o ` vec G A+ vec G B+ vec G Cdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `vec{a}, vec{b}, vec{c}` be the position vectors of the vertices `A, B, C` respectively.
Then, the position vector of the centroid `G` is `frac{vec{a}+vec{b}+vec{c}}{3}`
Thus,
`vec{G A}+vec{G B}+vec{G C}=vec{a}-(frac{vec{a}+vec{b}+vec{c}}{3}vec)+vec{b}-(frac{vec{a}+vec{b}+vec{c}}{3}vec)+vec{c}-(frac{vec{a}+vec{b}+vec{c}}{3}vec) `
`=(vec{a}+vec{b}+vec{c})-3(frac{vec{a}+vec{b}+vec{c}}{3}vec)`
`=(vec{a}+vec{b}+vec{c})-(vec{a}+vec{b}+vec{c}) `
`=vec{0}`
