The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the vector sum of the vectors from point S to the vertices A, B, and C of triangle ABC. Let's denote the position vectors of points A, B, C, and S as \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), \(\vec{C}\), and \(\vec{S}\) respectively. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Centroid**: The centroid \(G\) of triangle \(ABC\) is given by the formula: \[ \vec{G} = \frac{\vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C}}{3} \] 2. **Expressing Vectors from S to A, B, and C**: We need to express the vectors \(\vec{SA}\), \(\vec{SB}\), and \(\vec{SC}\): \[ \vec{SA} = \vec{A} - \vec{S}, \quad \vec{SB} = \vec{B} - \vec{S}, \quad \vec{SC} = \vec{C} - \vec{S} \] 3. **Summing the Vectors**: Now, we can sum these vectors: \[ \vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} = (\vec{A} - \vec{S}) + (\vec{B} - \vec{S}) + (\vec{C} - \vec{S}) \] 4. **Simplifying the Expression**: Combine the terms: \[ \vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} = \vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} - 3\vec{S} \] 5. **Substituting the Centroid**: We know from the definition of the centroid that: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} = 3\vec{G} \] Substituting this into our equation gives: \[ \vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} = 3\vec{G} - 3\vec{S} \] 6. **Factoring Out Common Terms**: We can factor out the common term: \[ \vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} = 3(\vec{G} - \vec{S}) \] ### Final Result: Thus, we conclude that: \[ \vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} = 3(\vec{G} - \vec{S}) \]
