To prove that \( DE \) is equal to half the edge of the tetrahedron \( OABC \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Position Vectors Let the position vectors of points \( O, A, B, C \) be represented as: - \( \vec{O} = \vec{0} \) (origin) - \( \vec{A} = \vec{a} \) - \( \vec{B} = \vec{b} \) - \( \vec{C} = \vec{c} \) ...
