The angle between the plane 2x – y + z = 6 and aplane perpendicu...
We are given the equation of two planes:
2x - y + z = 4 ... (1)
4x - 2y + 3z = 6 ... (2)
To find the angle between them, we first need to find the normal vectors of each plane. The normal vector of a plane is the vector perpendicular to the plane, and can be found by taking the coefficients of x, y, and z from the equation of the plane.
For plane (1), the normal vector is <2, -1,="" 1="">, and for plane (2), the normal vector is <4, -2,="" 3="">.
Next, we can use the dot product formula to find the angle between the normal vectors (and therefore the angle between the planes):
cos(theta) = (n1 dot n2) / (|n1| * |n2|)
where n1 and n2 are the normal vectors of the two planes.
Plugging in the values, we get:
cos(theta) = ((2)(4) + (-1)(-2) + (1)(3)) / (√(2^2 + (-1)^2 + 1^2) * √(4^2 + (-2)^2 + 3^2))
= 13 / (√6 * √29)
≈ 0.895
To find the angle itself, we take the inverse cosine of cos(theta):
theta = acos(0.895)
≈ 26.5 degrees
Therefore, the angle between the planes 2x - y + z = 4 and 4x - 2y + 3z = 6 is approximately 26.5 degrees.4,>2,>
