Exam questions on Angles between planes and between lines and planes

  1. Plane Π1\Pi_1 has equation 2x+y−2z=52x+y-2z=5 and plane Π2\Pi_2 has equation 2x+3y+6z=112x+3y+6z=11.
    A third plane Π3\Pi_3 has equation x+ky+2z=1x+ky+2z=1. Given that Π1\Pi_1 and Π3\Pi_3 are perpendicular, find the value of kk.2 marks
  2. The line ll has equation r=(1−13)+λ(2−12)\mathbf r=\begin{pmatrix}1 \\ -1 \\ 3\end{pmatrix}+\lambda\begin{pmatrix}2 \\ -1 \\ 2\end{pmatrix} and the plane Π\Pi has equation x+2y+2z=9x+2y+2z=9.
    Find the acute angle between ll and Π\Pi.2 marks
