\(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\) is formed by \(\mathrm{A}(1,8,4), \mathrm{B}(0,-11,4)\) and \(C(2,-3,1)\). If \(D\) is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from \(\mathrm{A}\) to \(\mathrm{BC}\), then the coordinates of \(\mathrm{D}\) are

  1. A \((-4,5,2)\)
  2. B \((4,-5,2)\)
  3. C \((4,-5,-2)\)
  4. D \((4,5,-2)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((4,5,-2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathrm{D}(h, k, l)\) be foot of Perpendicular \(\mathrm{AD}\) on \(\mathrm{BC}\). Equation of line \(\mathrm{BC}\) is \[ \frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y+3}{8}=\frac{z-1}{-3}=\lambda \text { (say) } \] Since equation passes through \(\mathrm{D}(h, k, l)\) Hence…
