if A(5,4,6)B(1,-1,3)and C(4,3,2) are the vertices of a triangle and the internal bisector of <BAC meets BC at D find the coordinates of D. Also find the coordinates of D. also find the length of AD
please help me out very urgent

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:


Let ABC be a triangle and ADis the angle bisector.Applying angle bisector we get:ABAC=BDCDA5,4,6, B1,-1,3 and C4,3,2Applying section formula we getAB=1-52+-1-42+3-62=16+25+9=50=52 unitsAC=4-52+3-42+2-62=1+1+16=32 units ABAC=BDCD=5232BDCD=53Thus, point Ddivides the line segment joining the points B1,-1,3 and C4,3,2in the ratio 5:3Let the coordinates of D be Dx,y,zHence by section formula we get;x=mx2+nx1m+n=5×4+3×15+3=238y=my2+ny1m+n=5×3-3×15+3=128=32z=mz2+nz1m+n=5×2+3×35+3=198Hence Coordinates of Dare D238,32,198Length of ADwill be given byAD=5-238+4-322+6-1982=40-238+8-322+48-1982=1782+522+2982=18289+400+841=181530Hence AD=181530 units
