To prove that \( \vec{AD} + \vec{EB} + \vec{FC} = 4\vec{AB} \) for a regular hexagon \( ABCDEF \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry of the Hexagon A regular hexagon can be inscribed in a circle, and all its sides are equal. Let the length of each side be \( AB = a \). The vertices of the hexagon can be represented in a coordinate system. ### Step 2: Assign Coordinates to the Vertices We can assign coordinates to the vertices of the hexagon as follows: - \( A(1, 0) \) ...
