To show that quadrilateral \( ABCD \) is a parallelogram given that \( \vec{AP} + \vec{PB} + \vec{PD} = \vec{PC} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the position vectors Let \( P \) be the origin. We denote the position vectors of points \( A, B, C, D \) as \( \vec{A}, \vec{B}, \vec{C}, \vec{D} \) respectively. Thus, we have: - \( \vec{P} = \vec{0} \) (since \( P \) is the origin) - \( \vec{AP} = \vec{P} - \vec{A} = \vec{0} - \vec{A} = -\vec{A} \) - \( \vec{PB} = \vec{B} - \vec{P} = \vec{B} - \vec{0} = \vec{B} \) - \( \vec{PD} = \vec{D} - \vec{P} = \vec{D} - \vec{0} = \vec{D} \) ...
