Answers (1)

Answer:

We need to prove that

Hint:

Use triangle law of vector.

Given :

ABCDE is a pentagon.

Solution:

Given , ABCDE is a pentagon.

In \Delta ABC,by tringle law

\vec{AB}+\vec{BC}=\vec{AC}.......(1)

In \Delta ACD by tringle law

\vec{AC}+\vec{CD}=\vec{AD}.......(2)

In \Delta AED,by tringle law

\vec{AD}+\vec{DE}=\vec{AE}......(3)

or \vec{AE}+\vec{ED}=\vec{AD}.........(4)

In \Delta ADC,by tringle law

\overrightarrow{A D}+\overrightarrow{D C}=\overrightarrow{A C} \ldots \ldots \ldots (5)

(i) \overrightarrow{A D}+\overrightarrow{D C}=\overrightarrow{A C}

=\overrightarrow{A C}+\overrightarrow{E C}+E A

=\overrightarrow{A E}+\overrightarrow{E A}

=\overrightarrow{A E}-\overrightarrow{A E}

=0

(ii) L.H.S, \overrightarrow{A B}+\overrightarrow{A E}+\overrightarrow{B C}+\overrightarrow{D C}+\overrightarrow{E D}+\overrightarrow{A C}

=(\overrightarrow{A B}+\overrightarrow{B C})+(\overrightarrow{A E}+\overrightarrow{E D})+\overrightarrow{A C}+\overrightarrow{D C}

=\overrightarrow{A C}+\overrightarrow{A D}+\overrightarrow{D C}+\overrightarrow{A C} \quad [using (1)and(4) ]

=\overrightarrow{A C}+\overrightarrow{A C}+\overrightarrow{A C}=3 \overrightarrow{A C} (proved)
