Vector Q2: Using magic triangle to find lengths

The diagram shows a triangle $ABC$ with $A\left( -1,2,3 \right)$, $B\left( 0,1,2 \right)$ and $C\left( 5,5,-3 \right)$.

By considering the vectors $\overrightarrow{AB}$, $\overrightarrow{CB}$ and $\overrightarrow{AC}$, and using scalar or vector product, find the exact lengths of

  1. $AF$, where $F$ is the foot of perpendicular from $B$ to $AC$,

    [2]

  2. $AG$, where $G$ is the foot of perpendicular from $A$ to $BC$.
