Problem

In tetrahedron $ABCD$ , vertex $D$ is connected with $D_0$ , the centroid of $\triangle ABC$ . Lines parallel to $DD_0$ are drawn through $A,B$ and $C$ . These lines intersect the planes $BCD, CAD$ and $ABD$ in points $A_1, B_1,$ and $C_1$ , respectively. Prove that the volume of $ABCD$ is one third the volume of $A_1B_1C_1D_0$ . Is the result true if point $D_o$ is selected anywhere within $\triangle ABC$ ?

Solution

Let $A_{2}$ be the point where line $AD_{0}$ intersects line $BC$

Let $B_{2}$ be the point where line $BD_{0}$ intersects line $AC$

Let $C_{2}$ be the point where line $CD_{0}$ intersects line $AB$
