This document provides the steps to solve a geometry problem involving vectors. It asks to add vectors representing line segments, uses similar triangles and properties of parallelograms to prove that the ratio of line segments YC to AX is n. The answer is found to be 5/4 by setting up and solving an equation from the ratio of similar triangles.

QUESTION

DAVID RAYNER
PART A)
So basically we have to add
vectors of DO and OC, Keeping in
mind the directions
OD= d
CO= -c
Therefore DO= c-d
PART B)
We know that CX is 1/5CD
CD=d-c
Therefore
CX=0.2c - 0.2d
PART C)
XO= XC- C
Therefore,
0.2c - 0.2d - c
PART D)
-d + c + nd
=c+ nd -d
PART E)
• Take a point in DY
• Connect this to X
• This forms a parallelogram
with DC (AXOD)
• This ultimately proves
AX=d
• Now you can also see two
similar triangles are
formed.
• We know similar triangles
sides when divided give the
same ratio
• If we divide YC by AX we get
to know the ratio is n
• So :
• DC/DX = n
• Which is 5/4
• And that’s the answer!
