    The document discusses how to express vectors in terms of other given vectors for different geometric shapes like triangles, parallelograms, rectangles, trapezoids and hexagons. It also discusses finding the midpoint of a line segment.

    To express a vector in terms of other given vectors, you need to identify the relationship between the vectors based on the properties of the geometric shape. For example, in a parallelogram AB→ = p and BC→ = -r, so the expression would be p - r.

    To find the midpoint M of a line segment PQ, you take the average of the vectors PQ→ and QP→. So M = 1/2(PQ→ + QP→).
