So, we have $ABCD$ a parallelogram, and three points $M$, $N$, $P$ on $AB$, $BC$ and $CD$ such that the center of the parallelogram is the center of gravity of $Delta MNP$. Show that N is the midle of BC. I have literally no idea. Thanks!!




I will be short, sorry, my time is very limited. I have to show that
$Delta CONequivDelta BON$, which is very simple.

  • Can you do it when $ABCD$ is a rectangle?

    Edit your question to show the proof for the case of rectangles and then think about how to apply the same argument to parallelograms.

Extend $NT$ to $Ein MP$. Then $E$ halves $PM$, so $$d(E,AB) = 1over 2d(AB,CD)$$
and the sam is true for $T$ (since diagonals in parallelogram halves each other): $$d(T,AB) = 1over 2d(AB,CD)$$



So $ET||AB$ and thus $EM||AB$ so: $$d(N,AB) = 1over 2d(AB,CD)$$ and thus $N$ halves $BC$.
