Solution

The exercises in the image involve proving certain properties in triangles and parallelograms based on vector relationships. Let's go through Exercise 12 and Exercise 13 one by one.

Exercise 12

We have triangle ABCABC and a point DD such that: CD=AC+2BC\overrightarrow{CD} = \overrightarrow{AC} + 2 \overrightarrow{BC}

  1. Define D1D_1 and D2D_2 as projections of DD on ABAB and ACAC, respectively.

    • a) Show that AD1=2AB\overrightarrow{AD_1} = -2 \overrightarrow{AB}
    • b) Show that AD2=4AC\overrightarrow{AD_2} = 4 \overrightarrow{AC}
  2. Line (CD)(CD) intersects lines (D,D2)(D, D_2) and (AB)(AB) at points MM and NN, respectively.

    • a) Draw a figure to represent this setup.
    • b) Show that ANAB=23\frac{AN}{AB} = \frac{2}{3}
    • c) Determine the value of MNMD\frac{MN}{MD}.

Exercise 13

We have a parallelogram ABCDABCD with center OO.

  1. Let JJ be a point such that AJ=23AC\overrightarrow{AJ} = \frac{2}{3} \overrightarrow{AC} and EE is the projection of JJ on BCBC parallel to ABAB.
    • a) Show that CE=13CB\overrightarrow{CE} = \frac{1}{3} \overrightarrow{CB}
    • b) Show that JE=13AB\overrightarrow{JE} = \frac{1}{3} \overrightarrow{AB}
