Question
(a) Find an equation of the plane that passes through the points , and
.
(b) Find symmetric equations for the line through that is perpendicular to the plane in part (a).
(c) A second plane passes through and has normal vector
Show that the acute angle between the planes is approximately
.
(d) Find parametric equations for the line of intersection of the two planes.
Solution
The first step in solving 12 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) Find an equation of the plane that passes through the points , and .(b) Find symmetric equations for the line through that is perpendicular to the plane in part (a).(c) A second plane passes through and has normal vector Show that the acute angle between the planes is approximately .(d) Find parametric equations for the line of intersection of the two planes.
From the textbook chapter Vectors and the Geometry of Space you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
