Show that the following planes are at right angles:
(i)
and ![]()
(ii)
and ![]()
To show the right angle between two planes, we simply find the angle between the normal vectors of planes. So if n1 and n2 are normal vectors and θ is the angle between both then
.for right angle θ=90°
Cos90°=0
(1)
(i)On comparing with standard equation
![]()
![]()
![]()
Hence proved planes at right angles.
(ii) On comparing with the standard equation of a plane
![]()
![]()
![]()
Hence proved planes at right angles.
