With circumcenter QQ as the origin: orthocenter's position vector is pˉ=aˉ+bˉ+cˉ\bar p=\bar a+\bar b+\bar c

(standard result, as used in Q.18), and centroid's position vector is gˉ=aˉ+bˉ+cˉ3\bar g=\dfrac{\bar a+\bar b+\bar c}3

(the usual centroid formula). Since QQ is the origin, QP→=pˉ=aˉ+bˉ+cˉ\overrightarrow{QP}=\bar p=\bar a+\bar b+\bar c and …
