The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the two given planes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the normal vectors of the planes The equations of the planes are given as: 1. \( \vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) = 3 \) 2. \( \vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) = 2 \) From these equations, we can identify the normal vectors: - For Plane 1, the normal vector \( \vec{n_1} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k} \) - For Plane 2, the normal vector \( \vec{n_2} = 2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the dot product of the normal vectors Next, we calculate the dot product \( \vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2} \): \[ \vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2} = (1)(2) + (1)(-2) + (-2)(1) = 2 - 2 - 2 = -2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the magnitudes of the normal vectors Now, we find the magnitudes of \( \vec{n_1} \) and \( \vec{n_2} \): \[ |\vec{n_1}| = \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 4} = \sqrt{6} \] \[ |\vec{n_2}| = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-2)^2 + (1)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4 + 1} = \sqrt{9} = 3 \] ### Step 4: Use the formula for the cosine of the angle between the planes The cosine of the angle \( \theta \) between the two planes is given by: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{|\vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2}|}{|\vec{n_1}| |\vec{n_2}|} \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{|-2|}{\sqrt{6} \cdot 3} = \frac{2}{3\sqrt{6}} \] ### Step 5: Find the angle \( \theta \) To find the angle \( \theta \), we take the inverse cosine: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3\sqrt{6}}\right) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the angle between the two planes is: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3\sqrt{6}}\right) \]
