From an arbitrary point $O$ inside a convex $n$-gon, perpendiculars are drawn on (extensions of the) sides of the $n$-gon. Along each perpendicular a vector is constructed, starting from $O$, directed towards the side onto which the perpendicular is drawn, and of length equal to half the length of the corresponding side. Find the sum of these vectors.
