Find the angle between the line and the plane 2x + y – z = 4.

As we know that the angle θ between the line and a plane a2x + b2y + c2z + d2 = 0 is given by

……(1)


Now, given equation of the line is



So, a1 = 1 , b1 = – 1 and c1 = 1


Equation of plane is 2x + y – z – 4 = 0


So, a2 = 2, b2 = 1, c2 = – 1 and d2 = – 4





sinθ = 0


the angle between the plane and the line is 0°
