To solve the problem, we need to express the vectors \( \vec{A}L \) and \( \vec{A}M \) in terms of \( \vec{A}B \) and \( \vec{A}D \), and then prove that \( \vec{A}L + \vec{A}M = \frac{3}{2} \vec{A}C \). ### Step 1: Express \( \vec{A}L \) 1. **Identify the midpoint \( L \)**: Since \( L \) is the midpoint of \( BC \), we can express \( \vec{L} \) as: \[ \vec{L} = \frac{\vec{B} + \vec{C}}{2} \] ...
