The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the expression for the sum of the vectors \( \bar{AB} + \bar{AD} + \bar{CB} + \bar{CD} \) given that \( M \) and \( N \) are the midpoints of the diagonals \( AC \) and \( BD \) respectively in quadrilateral \( ABCD \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Position Vectors**: Let the position vectors of points \( A, B, C, D \) be represented as: \[ \vec{A} = \vec{a}, \quad \vec{B} = \vec{b}, \quad \vec{C} = \vec{c}, \quad \vec{D} = \vec{d} \] 2. **Find the Vectors**: We need to express the vectors \( \bar{AB}, \bar{AD}, \bar{CB}, \bar{CD} \): - \( \bar{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A} = \vec{b} - \vec{a} \) - \( \bar{AD} = \vec{D} - \vec{A} = \vec{d} - \vec{a} \) - \( \bar{CB} = \vec{B} - \vec{C} = \vec{b} - \vec{c} \) - \( \bar{CD} = \vec{D} - \vec{C} = \vec{d} - \vec{c} \) 3. **Sum the Vectors**: Now, we sum these vectors: \[ \bar{AB} + \bar{AD} + \bar{CB} + \bar{CD} = (\vec{b} - \vec{a}) + (\vec{d} - \vec{a}) + (\vec{b} - \vec{c}) + (\vec{d} - \vec{c}) \] 4. **Combine Like Terms**: Combining the terms: \[ = (\vec{b} + \vec{d} - 2\vec{a}) + (\vec{b} + \vec{d} - 2\vec{c}) \] \[ = 2\vec{b} + 2\vec{d} - 2\vec{a} - 2\vec{c} \] \[ = 2(\vec{b} + \vec{d} - \vec{a} - \vec{c}) \] 5. **Midpoints**: Since \( M \) is the midpoint of \( AC \): \[ \vec{M} = \frac{\vec{a} + \vec{c}}{2} \] And \( N \) is the midpoint of \( BD \): \[ \vec{N} = \frac{\vec{b} + \vec{d}}{2} \] 6. **Substitute Midpoints**: Now substituting \( \vec{M} \) and \( \vec{N} \) into our expression: \[ \vec{b} + \vec{d} = 2\vec{N} \] \[ \vec{a} + \vec{c} = 2\vec{M} \] 7. **Final Expression**: Substitute these into the equation: \[ \bar{AB} + \bar{AD} + \bar{CB} + \bar{CD} = 2\left(2\vec{N} - 2\vec{M}\right) = 4(\vec{N} - \vec{M}) \] Thus, the final result is: \[ \bar{AB} + \bar{AD} + \bar{CB} + \bar{CD} = 4(\vec{N} - \vec{M}) \]
