vertices of PQR are P(5,-2,-1),Q(1,2,-3) and R(13,6,3). Bisector of angle P meets QR at S. Find coordinates of S?
angular bisector divides the opposite sides internally in the ratio of the side containing the angle
so first find the length of PQ and PR and then divide QR in the rato of PQ :PR
PQ= 6 PR = 12
@matricked
so find the co-ordinates of a point S which divides QR in the ratio of 6:12 i.e 1:2 internally
x=15/2
y = 20/3 and z =-1 coordinates of S =15/2,20/3,-1
@matricked am i right
i don't think its the correct cordinate u obtained
Q(1,2,-3) and R(13,6,3) check if it is (2+13)/3 , (4+6)/3 ,(-6+3)/3--> (15/3),(10/3),-1
oh yes, i thought its 16 , but it was 6
so u got it ..
yes..and of course thank u so much @matricked
welcome dear
