1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to prove something about triangle ABCABC given the equation TA+TB+TC=0\vec{TA} + \vec{TB} + \vec{TC} = \vec{0}.

2. Solution Steps

Let OO be the origin. Then we have:
TA=OAOT\vec{TA} = \vec{OA} - \vec{OT}
TB=OBOT\vec{TB} = \vec{OB} - \vec{OT}
TC=OCOT\vec{TC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OT}
Adding these equations together, we have:
TA+TB+TC=OAOT+OBOT+OCOT\vec{TA} + \vec{TB} + \vec{TC} = \vec{OA} - \vec{OT} + \vec{OB} - \vec{OT} + \vec{OC} - \vec{OT}
TA+TB+TC=OA+OB+OC3OT\vec{TA} + \vec{TB} + \vec{TC} = \vec{OA} + \vec{OB} + \vec{OC} - 3\vec{OT}
Since TA+TB+TC=0\vec{TA} + \vec{TB} + \vec{TC} = \vec{0}, we have:
0=OA+OB+OC3OT\vec{0} = \vec{OA} + \vec{OB} + \vec{OC} - 3\vec{OT}
3OT=OA+OB+OC3\vec{OT} = \vec{OA} + \vec{OB} + \vec{OC}
OT=OA+OB+OC3\vec{OT} = \frac{\vec{OA} + \vec{OB} + \vec{OC}}{3}
This means that TT is the centroid of triangle ABCABC. The centroid of a triangle is the intersection of the medians of the triangle. Thus, the point TT is the centroid of the triangle ABCABC.

3. Final Answer

The point TT is the centroid of triangle ABCABC.
