Точки M и N – середины ребер CC1 и BC параллелепипеда ABCDA1B1C1D1. Укажите верное утверждение.

Solution

Looking at the diagram of the parallelepiped ABCDA1B1C1D1ABCDA_1B_1C_1D_1, the points MM and NN are midpoints of edges CC1CC_1 and BCBC respectively.

Now, let's analyze the given statements:

  1. BC1CB1\vec{BC_1} \parallel \vec{CB_1}:

    • This is true because the vector from BB to C1C_1 and the vector from CC to B1B_1 are parallel due to the geometric symmetry of the parallelepiped. These vectors represent opposite edges of the same plane.
  2. NMBC1\vec{NM} \parallel \vec{BC_1}:

    • This is false. The vector NM\vec{NM} (from NN to MM) does not point in the same direction as the vector from BB to C1C_1.
  3. BC=A1D1\vec{BC} = \vec{A_1D_1}:

    • This is false because BC\vec{BC} and A1D1\vec{A_1D_1} are not equal. They are parallel but do not have the same magnitude and direction.
  4. MN=AD1\vec{MN} = \vec{AD_1}:

    • This is true. Since MM and NN are midpoints and due to the symmetry of the parallelepiped, MN\vec{MN} is parallel and equal in length to AD1\vec{AD_1}.

The correct answer is:

  • MN=AD1\vec{MN} = \vec{AD_1}.
