The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation and the properties of the triangle ABC, particularly focusing on the points involved: the centroid G, orthocenter H, circumcenter O, and point D. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Points**: - Let \( O \) be the circumcenter (the origin). - Let \( A, B, C \) be the vertices of triangle ABC. - Let \( G \) be the centroid of triangle ABC. - Let \( H \) be the orthocenter of triangle ABC. - Let \( D \) be any point in the plane such that no three of \( O, A, C, D \) are collinear. 2. **Expressing Distances in Vector Form**: - We can express the distances in vector form: - \( \overrightarrow{AD} = \overrightarrow{OD} - \overrightarrow{OA} \) - \( \overrightarrow{BD} = \overrightarrow{OD} - \overrightarrow{OB} \) - \( \overrightarrow{CH} = \overrightarrow{OC} - \overrightarrow{OH} \) - \( \overrightarrow{HG} = \overrightarrow{OH} - \overrightarrow{OG} \) 3. **Substituting into the Given Equation**: - Substitute these expressions into the equation: \[ \overrightarrow{AD} + \overrightarrow{BD} + \overrightarrow{CH} + 3\overrightarrow{HG} = \lambda \overrightarrow{HD} \] - This becomes: \[ (\overrightarrow{OD} - \overrightarrow{OA}) + (\overrightarrow{OD} - \overrightarrow{OB}) + (\overrightarrow{OC} - \overrightarrow{OH}) + 3(\overrightarrow{OH} - \overrightarrow{OG}) = \lambda (\overrightarrow{OD} - \overrightarrow{OH}) \] 4. **Combining Like Terms**: - Combine the terms on the left-hand side: \[ 2\overrightarrow{OD} - \overrightarrow{OA} - \overrightarrow{OB} + \overrightarrow{OC} + 3\overrightarrow{OH} - 3\overrightarrow{OG} = \lambda (\overrightarrow{OD} - \overrightarrow{OH}) \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Rearranging gives: \[ 2\overrightarrow{OD} - \lambda \overrightarrow{OD} = \overrightarrow{OA} + \overrightarrow{OB} - \overrightarrow{OC} + 3\overrightarrow{OG} - 3\overrightarrow{OH} \] - This can be simplified to: \[ (2 - \lambda)\overrightarrow{OD} = \overrightarrow{OA} + \overrightarrow{OB} - \overrightarrow{OC} + 3\overrightarrow{OG} - 3\overrightarrow{OH} \] 6. **Using Properties of the Triangle**: - We know that the centroid \( G \) divides the median in the ratio 2:1, and the orthocenter \( H \) has specific relationships with the circumcenter and centroid. - By comparing coefficients and using the property of the vectors, we can find that: \[ 2\overrightarrow{HD} = \lambda \overrightarrow{HD} \] - This implies that \( \lambda = 2 \). ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of the scalar \( \lambda \) is \( \boxed{2} \).
