The vectors are
A B → = ( 2 , − 2 , 1 ) , A C → = ( 4 , 0 , − 3 ) . \overrightarrow{AB}=(2,-2,1),\qquad
\overrightarrow{AC}=(4,0,-3). A B = ( 2 , − 2 , 1 ) , A C = ( 4 , 0 , − 3 ) .
Their scalar product is 2 ( 4 ) + ( − 2 ) ( 0 ) + 1 ( − 3 ) = 5 2(4)+(-2)(0)+1(-3)=5 2 ( 4 ) + ( − 2 ) ( 0 ) + 1 ( − 3 ) = 5 . Their lengths are 3 3 3 and 5 5 5 . Hence
cos ∠ B A C = 5 3 ( 5 ) = 1 3 . \boxed{\cos\angle BAC=\frac5{3(5)}=\frac13}. cos ∠ B A C = 3 ( 5 ) 5 = 3 1 .

承接(a),先用 sin 2 A + cos 2 A = 1 \sin^2A+\cos^2A=1 sin 2 A + cos 2 A = 1 求正的正弦值,再使用两边夹角的三角形面积公式。

Let θ = ∠ B A C \theta=\angle BAC θ = ∠ B A C . Using part (a),
sin θ = 1 − 1 9 = 2 2 3 , \sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\frac19}=\frac{2\sqrt2}{3}, sin θ = 1 − 9 1 = 3 2 2 ,
since 0 < θ < π 0<\theta<\pi 0 < θ < π . Therefore
Area of A B C = 1 2 ∣ A B → ∣ ∣ A C → ∣ sin θ = 1 2 ( 3 ) ( 5 ) 2 2 3 = 5 2 . \begin{align*}
\text{Area of }ABC
=&\,\frac12|\overrightarrow{AB}|\,
|\overrightarrow{AC}|\sin\theta\\[4mm]
=&\,\frac12(3)(5)\frac{2\sqrt2}{3}\\[4mm]
=&\,\boxed{5\sqrt2}.
\end{align*} Area of A B C = = = 2 1 ∣ A B ∣ ∣ A C ∣ sin θ 2 1 ( 3 ) ( 5 ) 3 2 2 5 2 .

Let H H H be the foot of the perpendicular from A A A to the line B C BC B C .
Since B C → = ( 2 , 2 , − 4 ) \overrightarrow{BC}=(2,2,-4) B C = ( 2 , 2 , − 4 ) , write
B H → = λ ( 2 , 2 , − 4 ) \overrightarrow{BH}=\lambda(2,2,-4) B H = λ ( 2 , 2 , − 4 ) . Then
A H → = ( 2 + 2 λ , − 2 + 2 λ , 1 − 4 λ ) . \overrightarrow{AH}=(2+2\lambda,-2+2\lambda,1-4\lambda). A H = ( 2 + 2 λ , − 2 + 2 λ , 1 − 4 λ ) .
The perpendicularity condition gives
A H → ⋅ ( 2 , 2 , − 4 ) = 0 , 2 ( 2 + 2 λ ) + 2 ( − 2 + 2 λ ) − 4 ( 1 − 4 λ ) = 0 , 24 λ − 4 = 0. \begin{align*}
\overrightarrow{AH}\cdot(2,2,-4)=&\,0,\\[4mm]
2(2+2\lambda)+2(-2+2\lambda)
-4(1-4\lambda)=&\,0,\\[4mm]
24\lambda-4=&\,0.
\end{align*} A H ⋅ ( 2 , 2 , − 4 ) = 2 ( 2 + 2 λ ) + 2 ( − 2 + 2 λ ) − 4 ( 1 − 4 λ ) = 24 λ − 4 = 0 , 0 , 0.
Thus λ = 1 / 6 \lambda=1/6 λ = 1/6 , and
A H → = ( 7 3 , − 5 3 , 1 3 ) , A H = 49 + 25 + 1 9 = 5 3 3 . \begin{align*}
\overrightarrow{AH}=&\,\bigg(\frac73,-\frac53,\frac13\bigg),\\[4mm]
AH=&\,\sqrt{\frac{49+25+1}{9}}=\frac{5\sqrt3}{3}.
\end{align*} A H = A H = ( 3 7 , − 3 5 , 3 1 ) , 9 49 + 25 + 1 = 3 5 3 .
Also B C = 2 2 + 2 2 + ( − 4 ) 2 = 2 6 BC=\sqrt{2^2+2^2+(-4)^2}=2\sqrt6 B C = 2 2 + 2 2 + ( − 4 ) 2 = 2 6 . Hence
Area of A B C = 1 2 ( 2 6 ) 5 3 3 = 5 2 . \text{Area of }ABC
=\frac12(2\sqrt6)\frac{5\sqrt3}{3}
=\boxed{5\sqrt2}. Area of A B C = 2 1 ( 2 6 ) 3 5 3 = 5 2 .
