problem
Solution
Obviously, it is enough to show that () From the conditions of the problem we have (1) We choose a point , such that is a parallelogram. Then and . According to that, from where we get (2) On the other hand, the point is the midpoint of in the parallelogram and therefore is the midpoint of segment . Now, , so from (1) and (2) we get ().
