To show that the resultant of the vectors \( \vec{OA}, \vec{OB}, \vec{OC}, \) and \( \vec{OD} \) is equal to \( 4 \vec{OE} \), where \( O \) is any point and \( E \) is the intersection of the lines joining the midpoints of opposite sides of the quadrilateral \( ABCD \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the midpoints Let \( P \) be the midpoint of side \( AB \) and \( Q \) be the midpoint of side \( CD \). By the definition of midpoints, we can express the vectors as: \[ \vec{OP} = \frac{\vec{OA} + \vec{OB}}{2} \] \[ ...
