The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the sum of the vectors \( \vec{AD} + \vec{EB} + \vec{FC} \) in a regular hexagon \( ABCDEF \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Geometry of the Hexagon:** - A regular hexagon has equal sides and symmetrical properties. The vertices are labeled as \( A, B, C, D, E, F \). 2. **Identify the Vectors:** - The vectors we need to analyze are: - \( \vec{AD} \) (from point A to point D) - \( \vec{EB} \) (from point E to point B) - \( \vec{FC} \) (from point F to point C) 3. **Express Each Vector in Terms of Side Length:** - In a regular hexagon, the diagonal \( \vec{AD} \) can be expressed in terms of the side length \( s \): \[ \vec{AD} = 2 \vec{AB} \] - For \( \vec{EB} \): \[ \vec{EB} = 2 \vec{FA} \] - For \( \vec{FC} \): \[ \vec{FC} = 2 \vec{AB} \] 4. **Combine the Vectors:** - Now, we can substitute the expressions for \( \vec{AD} \), \( \vec{EB} \), and \( \vec{FC} \): \[ \vec{AD} + \vec{EB} + \vec{FC} = 2 \vec{AB} + 2 \vec{FA} + 2 \vec{AB} \] - Since \( \vec{FA} \) is equal to \( \vec{AB} \) (because they are both sides of the hexagon): \[ \vec{EB} = 2 \vec{AB} \] - Thus, we can rewrite: \[ \vec{AD} + \vec{EB} + \vec{FC} = 2 \vec{AB} + 2 \vec{AB} + 2 \vec{AB} = 4 \vec{AB} \] 5. **Final Result:** - Therefore, the final result is: \[ \vec{AD} + \vec{EB} + \vec{FC} = 4 \vec{AB} \]
