To prove the given equation, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Unit Vectors along the Bisectors Let \( \vec{x}, \vec{y}, \vec{z} \) be the unit vectors along the bisectors of angles \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) respectively. The unit vector along the bisector of two vectors \( \vec{u} \) and \( \vec{v} \) is given by: \[ \vec{x} = \frac{\vec{u} + \vec{v}}{|\vec{u} + \vec{v}|} ...
