b) correct unit vector for AC?

c)  correct unit vector for AD?

3D Particle Equilibrium
Use the following information.
• The orange lines represent cables used to support the other forces.
• The red lines are the axes.
• The blue lines are used to show distances of the points.
• The cables attach to the wall at points B, C, and D.
The weight acts vertically down.
Cable AB is also vertical with the distance from A to B being the same as the vertical height from
A to C.
