Write the angle between the line
and the plane x + y + 4 = 0.
Given :
Equation of line :
Equation of plane : x + y + 4 = 0
To Find : angle between line and plane
Formulae :
1) Parallel vector to the line :
If equation of the line is then,
Vector parallel to the line is given by,
2) Normal vector to the plane :
If equation of the plane is ax + by + cz = d then,
Vector normal to the plane is given by,
3) Angle between a line and a plane :
If Ө is a angle between the line and the plane
, then
Where, is vector parallel to the line and
is the vector normal to the plane.
Answer :
For given equation of line,
Parallel vector to the line is
For given equation of plane,
x + y + 4 = 0
normal vector to the plane is
Therefore, angle between given line and plane is
