Question
Let →OA=(−104) and →OB=(413).
The point C is such that →AC=(−11−1).
The following diagram shows triangle ABC. Let D be a point on [BC], with acute angle ADC=θ.
(i) Find →AB.
(ii) Find |→AB|.
Show that the coordinates of C are (−2, 1, 3).
Write down an expression in terms of θ for
(i) angle ADB;
(ii) area of triangle ABD.
Given that area ΔABDarea ΔACD=3, show that BDBC=34.
Hence or otherwise, find the coordinates of point D.
