1. Problem Description

We are given two diagrams containing vectors. We need to find which options are equal to the resultant vectors KM\vec{KM} and DA\vec{DA}.

2. Solution Steps

For the first problem, we want to find a vector equivalent to KM\vec{KM}. From the diagram, we can write KM=KL+LM\vec{KM} = \vec{KL} + \vec{LM}. We have KL=a\vec{KL} = a and LM=b\vec{LM} = b. Thus, KM=a+b\vec{KM} = a + b. We also have KN=NK\vec{KN} = - \vec{NK}.
We can express NM\vec{NM} as 3a3a. Then NL=NM+ML=3ab\vec{NL} = \vec{NM} + \vec{ML} = 3a - b. NK=NM+MK=3a(a+b)=2ab\vec{NK} = \vec{NM} + \vec{MK} = 3a - (a+b) = 2a - b. So KN=(2ab)=2a+b\vec{KN} = -(2a - b) = -2a+b.
Consider MK=KM=ab\vec{MK} = -\vec{KM} = -a - b. NL\vec{NL} is not KM\vec{KM}. NK\vec{NK} is not KM\vec{KM}. KN\vec{KN} is not KM\vec{KM}.
We also have KM=KN+NM\vec{KM} = \vec{KN} + \vec{NM}, where NM=3a\vec{NM} = 3a. Then KM=KN+3a\vec{KM} = \vec{KN} + 3a.
So KN=KM3a=a+b3a=2a+b\vec{KN} = \vec{KM} - 3a = a + b - 3a = -2a + b.
We have NL=NK+KL=2ab+a=3ab\vec{NL} = \vec{NK} + \vec{KL} = 2a - b + a = 3a - b.
Let's recalculate NM=NL+LM=NL+b=3a\vec{NM} = \vec{NL} + \vec{LM} = \vec{NL} + b = 3a.
So NL=3ab\vec{NL} = 3a - b.
Now NL=NK+KL\vec{NL} = \vec{NK} + \vec{KL}, so NK=NLKL=3aba=2ab\vec{NK} = \vec{NL} - \vec{KL} = 3a - b - a = 2a - b.
For the second problem, we want to find a vector equivalent to DA\vec{DA}. We can write
DA=DE+EA\vec{DA} = \vec{DE} + \vec{EA}.
We have DE=a\vec{DE} = -a and EA=3bb=4b\vec{EA} = -3b -b = -4b.
Thus DA=a4b\vec{DA} = -a - 4b.
However, we can also find FE=3b\vec{FE} = 3b, AF=b\vec{AF} = -b, AB=a\vec{AB} = a, BC=2b\vec{BC} = 2b.
CD=2b\vec{CD} = -2b, DE=a\vec{DE} = -a.
BC=2b\vec{BC} = 2b
FC=FE+EC=3b+EA+AC\vec{FC} = \vec{FE} + \vec{EC} = 3b + \vec{EA} + \vec{AC}.
AC=AB+BC=a+2b\vec{AC} = \vec{AB} + \vec{BC} = a + 2b.
EA=(AF+FE)=(b+3b)=2b\vec{EA} = -(\vec{AF} + \vec{FE}) = -(-b+3b) = -2b.
So DA\vec{DA} is not FE\vec{FE}, BC\vec{BC}, FC\vec{FC}.
DA=DE+EA=a3bAF=a3b+b=a2b.\vec{DA} = \vec{DE} + \vec{EA} = -a - 3b - \vec{AF} = -a - 3b + b = -a - 2b.
ED=a\vec{ED} = a
BC=2b\vec{BC} = 2b
The correct equation is DA=DE+EA\vec{DA} = \vec{DE} + \vec{EA}.
The vector DE=a\vec{DE} = a. ED=a\vec{ED} = -a.
EF=3b\vec{EF} = -3b
FA=b\vec{FA} = b
AB=a\vec{AB} = a
BC=2b\vec{BC} = 2b
CD=CE+ED\vec{CD} = \vec{CE} + \vec{ED}
CE=(EF+FC)=(3b+FC)\vec{CE} = -(\vec{EF} + \vec{FC}) = -(-3b + \vec{FC}).
Since we need to find a vector expression equal to DA\vec{DA}, we can't use these expressions. The vector DA\vec{DA} is depicted in the image.
EF=3b\vec{EF} = -3b.
Then FE=3b\vec{FE} = 3b.
Since FC=FE+EC\vec{FC} = \vec{FE} + \vec{EC}.
We have DA\vec{DA}
