Hey there,

In order to solve this question, you should consider the figure of the question first and then begin with the proof :

We need to prove :AD + BE +CF = 0

We may find the vectors of all 3 medians in terms of the sides of the triangle.

Vector AD ( from A to BC)= (AC/2) +( AB/2) ……….(1)

Vector BE (from B to AC)= (BA/2) + (BC/2) ………(2)

Vector CF ( from C to BA) = ( CB/2) + ( CA/2) ……….(3)

Now adding all the three equations 1,2 and 3, we get :

(AC + AB + BA + BC + CB + CA)/2

Since, CB= -BC, CA= - AC, BA= -AB

So, (AC + AB -AB+BC - BC - AC)/2

=0

Hence proved.

Thanks
