A triangle ABC is formed by $\mathrm{A}(1,-1,0), \mathrm{B}(3,5,3), \mathrm{C}(-11,-5,6)$. The equation of internal angle bisector of angle $A$ is
- Correct answerA$\frac{(1-x)}{2}=\frac{y-(-1)}{2}=\frac{z}{3}$
- B$\frac{x+1}{2}=\frac{y-1}{2}=\frac{z}{3}$
- C$\frac{x+2}{1}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z}{3}$
- D$\frac{x-2}{1}=\frac{y+3}{2}=\frac{z}{3}$
Solution
Given triangle vertices $A(1, -1, 0)$, $B(3, 5, 3)$, and $C(-11, -5, 6)$, the position vectors from $A$ are:
$\vec{AB} = (2, 6, 3)$, with magnitude $7$
$\vec{AC} = (-12, -4, 6)$, with magnitude $14$
The unit vectors are $\hat{u}_{AB} = \left(\frac{2}{7}, \frac{6}{7}, \frac{3}{7}\right)$ and $\hat{u}_{AC} = \left(-\frac{6}{7}, -\frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{7}\right)$.
The direction vector of the angle bisector is given by their sum:
$\vec{d} = \hat{u}_{AB} + \hat{u}_{AC} = \left(-\frac{4}{7}, \frac{4}{7}, \frac{6}{7}\right)$
Multiplying by $7$ yields the proportional vector $(-4, 4, 6)$, which simplifies to $(-2, 2, 3)$ when divided by $2$.
The bisector line passes through $A(1, -1, 0)$ with this direction, giving the equation:
$\frac{x - 1}{-2} = \frac{y + 1}{2} = \frac{z}{3}$
This is equivalent to $\frac{1 - x}{2} = \frac{y + 1}{2} = \frac{z}{3}$, which matches option A.
Final answer: $\boxed{A}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
