Mark against the correct answer in each of the following:
The angle between the line and a normal to the plane x – y + z = 0 is
Given: Equation of line is
Equation of plane is x – y + z = 0
To find: Angle between a line and the normal to a plane.
Formula Used: If θ is the angle between two lines with direction ratios b1:b2:b3 and c1:c2:c3, then
Explanation:
Direction ratios of given line is 1 : 2 : 1
Direction ratios of the normal to the plane is 1 : -1 : 1
Therefore,
cos θ = 0
θ = 90°
Therefore angle between them is 90°
