Write the angle between the lines whose ...

Write the angle between the lines whose direction ratios are proportional to 1, -2, 1 and 4, 3, 2.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The direction ratios of the first line are `1,-2,1` and the direction ratios of the second line are `4,3,2`.

Let `theta` be the angle between these two lines.

Now ,

`` `cos theta=|frac{1(4)+(-2)(3)+1(2)}{sqrt{(1)^{2}+(-2)^{2}+(1)^{2}} sqrt{(4)^{2}+(3)^{2}+(2)^{2}}}|`

`=|frac{4-6+2}{sqrt{1+4+1} sqrt{16+9+4}}|`

`=frac{0}{sqrt{6} sqrt{29}}`

`=0`
