To solve the problem, we will use vector methods to show that lines \( BD \) and \( CO \) intersect in the same ratio and determine that ratio. Let's proceed step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Points Let \( O \) be the origin, \( A \), \( C \), and \( B \) be points in the parallelogram \( OACB \). We can represent the position vectors of these points as follows: - \( \vec{O} = \vec{0} \) - \( \vec{A} = \vec{a} \) - \( \vec{C} = \vec{b} \) - \( \vec{B} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} \) (since \( B \) is opposite to \( O \) in the parallelogram) ...
