+781 Here is the question, it is no 3

Let ABCDEF be a convex hexagon. Let A', B', C', D', E', F' be the centroids of triangles FAB, ABC, BCD, CDE, DEF, EFA, respectively. (a) Show that every pair of opposite sides in hexagon A'B'C'D'E'F' (namely A'B' and D'E', B'C' and E'F', and C'D' and F'A') are parallel and equal in length. (b) Show that triangles A'C'E' and B'D'F' have equal areas.
+118667 Do you have, or can you find the address of where this was asked last time?
It really is polite to continue it on the original thread, and it is also better for future people who might find it in a search.
+118667 Here is one answer

Here is another:

Have you seen it at a different address again?
+781 It was the latter link, and I added it to my question. But does anyone have a hint or something to help me out here?

Hi Gwen,
I have spent time playing with this question.
Graphically I have convinced myself that it is true.
I tried to follow Gavin's logic in the other answer but he seemed to jump a big step. Maybe what he was saying would have been more obvious if his pic had still been visible, but I doubt it.
However I did simply the problem to look only at one half of hexagon, which is a quadrilateral. The properties of each quadrilateral will be the same so if you can prove
1) B'C' is parallel to AD and that (that is what it always appears to be from my diagram.)
2) B'C' = one third of AD (also what it always appears to be from my diagram.)
then, by extension, you can prove what you are being asked.
Here is the interactive diagram that you can play with.
Only point A is fixed, the rest of the diagram can be dragged wherever you want. The stated requirements will stay correct.
+118667 Maybe someone else would like to continue from where I have left off ?

You said on your other post that you have now figured out this question.
Can you please put your answer here so other people (namely me) can learn as well.
Thank you.
+118667 Thanks Gwen,
It is such a pity that your pics have been blocked.
It is not your fault, I know this. 
+781 Oh...why are they blocked though? I could still type up the solution here though, but there won't be any diagrams.
+1094 Just telling you, guest did not go into your computer and steal all those files.
What he/she did was long press (if on mobile) the image, or left click (if on PC or MAC) and select "copy image". This will give the link to the image, which gives the picture.
I think the reason why guest's pictures were not blocked (or sent for moderation) was because they were the web2.0calc links, which the system probably recognizes as 'innocent'. Maybe.
Have a good day Gwen!
:)
