The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given condition We are given that \((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times (\vec{c} \times \vec{d}) = \vec{0}\). This means that the vector resulting from the cross product of \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c} \times \vec{d}\) is the zero vector. ### Step 2: Identify the planes Let \(P_1\) be the plane determined by the vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\), and let \(P_2\) be the plane determined by the vectors \(\vec{c}\) and \(\vec{d}\). ### Step 3: Determine the normal vectors of the planes The normal vector \(\vec{n_1}\) to the plane \(P_1\) can be found using the cross product: \[ \vec{n_1} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \] Similarly, the normal vector \(\vec{n_2}\) to the plane \(P_2\) is: \[ \vec{n_2} = \vec{c} \times \vec{d} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the condition given Since \((\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times (\vec{c} \times \vec{d}) = \vec{0}\), we can interpret this in terms of the normal vectors: \[ \vec{n_1} \times \vec{n_2} = \vec{0} \] This implies that \(\vec{n_1}\) and \(\vec{n_2}\) are parallel or one of them is the zero vector. ### Step 5: Conclude about the angle between the planes If \(\vec{n_1}\) and \(\vec{n_2}\) are parallel, then the planes \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are either the same or parallel to each other. This means that the angle \(\theta\) between the two planes is \(0\) degrees. ### Final Answer Thus, the angle between the planes \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) is: \[ \text{Angle} = 0 \text{ degrees} \] The correct option is (A) 0. ---
