Consider a where and . If the angle bisector of meets the line at , then the length of the projection of the vector on the vector is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Use the angle bisector theorem in 3D triangle geometry
Since is the point where the internal bisector of meets side , we have
So first compute and .
- Find the side lengths and
Given:
Thus,
Hence by angle bisector theorem,
so is the midpoint of .
- Find coordinates of midpoint of
Therefore,
- Find vector
Also,
- Projection length of on
The scalar projection of on is
Compute the dot product:
And
So the required projection length is
- Match with options
So the correct option is A.
