Mark the correct alternative in the following:

The acute angle between the planes 2x – y + z = 6 and x + y + 2z = 3 is


We know, the angle between two planes,


a1x + b1y + c1z + d1=0 and a2x + b2y + c2z + d2=0 is,



Here, a1=2, b1= - 1, c1=1, d1= - 6 and a2=1, b2=1, c2=2,


d2= - 3.


So, the acute angle between the planes 2x–y + z=6 and


x + y + 2z = 3 is







θ=60 ̊


the acute angle between the planes 2x–y + z=6 and


x + y + 2z = 3 is 60 ̊.
