Since A(x,y,z)$A(x,y,z)$ lies in the xy-plane, its z-coordinate must be zero (z = 0$z = 0$). Let the reference targets be P(0,3,2)$P(0,3,2)$, Q(2,0,3)$Q(2,0,3)$, and R(0,0,1)$R(0,0,1)$.

Setting AP² = AR²$AP^2 = AR^2$:

Step 1: Locating Coordinate Dimensions

Setting AQ² = AR²$AQ^2 = AR^2$ with y=2$y=2$:

Thus, A$A$ is precisely located at (3,2,0)$(3,2,0)$.

Step 2: Triangle Side and Area Assessment

Calculate the lengths between A(3,2,0)$A(3,2,0)$, B(1,4,-1)$B(1,4,-1)$, and C(2,0,-2)$C(2,0,-2)$: AB = √((3-1)² + (2-4)² + (0+1)²) = 3$AB = \sqrt{(3-1)^2 + (2-4)^2 + (0+1)^2} = 3$ AC = √((3-2)² + (2-0)² + (0+2)²) = 3$AC = \sqrt{(3-2)^2 + (2-0)^2 + (0+2)^2} = 3$ BC = √((1-2)² + (4-0)² + (-1+2)²) = √(18)$BC = \sqrt{(1-2)^2 + (4-0)^2 + (-1+2)^2} = \sqrt{18}$

Since AB = AC = 3$AB = AC = 3$ and AB² + AC² = BC²$AB^2 + AC^2 = BC^2$, it forms an isosceles right-angled triangle. Thus, (S1) is true.

Therefore, (S2) is false.

Let Q$Q$ be the projection point on the given line parameterized by λ$\lambda$: Q(2λ + 1, λ + 2, 3λ + 1)$Q(2\lambda + 1, \lambda + 2, 3\lambda + 1)$.

The vector PQ$\overrightarrow{PQ}$ from P(4,4,3)$P(4,4,3)$ is:

Step 1: Solving for Projected Intersection Points

Since PQ$\overrightarrow{PQ}$ is perpendicular to the line's direction vector (2, 1, 3)$(2, 1, 3)$:

Thus, Q$Q$ is located at (3,3,4)$(3,3,4)$.

Step 2: Transforming using Midpoint Mappings

The projection point Q$Q$ acts as the midpoint between original point P$P$ and its target image R(α, β, γ)$R(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$:

Evaluating this gives (α, β, γ) = (2, 2, 5)$(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) = (2, 2, 5)$.
