To prove that \( \vec{PA} + \vec{PB} + \vec{PC} + \vec{PD} = 4 \vec{PQ} \), we will use the properties of vectors and the concept of midpoints. ### Step 1: Define the points and midpoints Let the position vectors of points \( A, B, C, D \) be represented as \( \vec{A}, \vec{B}, \vec{C}, \vec{D} \) respectively. The midpoints of segments \( AB \) and \( CD \) can be defined as: - Midpoint \( M_1 \) of \( AB \): \[ \vec{M_1} = \frac{\vec{A} + \vec{B}}{2} \] ...
