- A45
- B50
- C42
- D49

Correct answer: A
- Write the coordinates of the points
Given position vectors:
All three points have , so the triangle lies in a plane parallel to the -plane.
- Find the side lengths adjacent to angle
We need the lengths of and .
So,
Thus triangle is isosceles at .
- Use the property of angle bisector in an isosceles triangle
Since , the angle bisector from to side also bisects . Hence is the midpoint of .
Midpoint of and is
- Find the length of the angle bisector
Therefore,
So,
- Check options
So the correct option is:
A: 45
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: A
Our derived answer: A
They agree.
