The correct Answer is:
To determine the correctness of the given statements regarding the angle between two planes and the distance between two other planes, we will solve each part step by step. ### Step 1: Finding the Angle Between the Planes Given the equations of the planes: 1. Plane 1: \(2x - y + z = 1\) 2. Plane 2: \(x + y + 2z = 3\) **Step 1.1: Identify the Normal Vectors** The normal vector \(N_1\) for Plane 1 can be derived from its coefficients: \[ N_1 = \langle 2, -1, 1 \rangle \] The normal vector \(N_2\) for Plane 2 is: \[ N_2 = \langle 1, 1, 2 \rangle \] **Step 1.2: Calculate the Dot Product of the Normal Vectors** The dot product \(N_1 \cdot N_2\) is calculated as follows: \[ N_1 \cdot N_2 = (2)(1) + (-1)(1) + (1)(2) = 2 - 1 + 2 = 3 \] **Step 1.3: Calculate the Magnitudes of the Normal Vectors** The magnitude of \(N_1\) is: \[ |N_1| = \sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{4 + 1 + 1} = \sqrt{6} \] The magnitude of \(N_2\) is: \[ |N_2| = \sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 4} = \sqrt{6} \] **Step 1.4: Calculate the Cosine of the Angle** Using the formula for the cosine of the angle \(\theta\) between the two planes: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{N_1 \cdot N_2}{|N_1| |N_2|} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{6}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \] **Step 1.5: Determine the Angle** Thus, we find: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3} \] **Conclusion for Statement 1:** The first statement is correct as the angle between the planes is indeed \(\frac{\pi}{3}\). ### Step 2: Finding the Distance Between the Planes Given the equations of the planes: 1. Plane 1: \(6x - 3y + 6z + 2 = 0\) 2. Plane 2: \(2x - y + 2z + 4 = 0\) **Step 2.1: Rewrite the Equations in Standard Form** The equations are already in the standard form \(Ax + By + Cz + D = 0\). **Step 2.2: Identify the Coefficients** For Plane 1: - \(A_1 = 6\), \(B_1 = -3\), \(C_1 = 6\), \(D_1 = 2\) For Plane 2: - \(A_2 = 2\), \(B_2 = -1\), \(C_2 = 2\), \(D_2 = 4\) **Step 2.3: Ensure the Planes are Parallel** To check if the planes are parallel, we can compare the ratios of the coefficients: \[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3, \quad \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{-3}{-1} = 3, \quad \frac{C_1}{C_2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \] Since all ratios are equal, the planes are parallel. **Step 2.4: Calculate the Distance Between the Planes** The distance \(D\) between two parallel planes is given by: \[ D = \frac{|D_2 - D_1|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} \] Substituting the values: \[ D = \frac{|4 - 2|}{\sqrt{6^2 + (-3)^2 + 6^2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{36 + 9 + 36}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{81}} = \frac{2}{9} \] **Step 2.5: Correct the Distance Calculation** We need to ensure the distance is calculated correctly: \[ D = \frac{|4 - \frac{2}{3}|}{\sqrt{6^2 + (-3)^2 + 6^2}} = \frac{|4 - \frac{2}{3}|}{9} = \frac{\frac{12}{3} - \frac{2}{3}}{9} = \frac{\frac{10}{3}}{9} = \frac{10}{27} \] **Conclusion for Statement 2:** The distance between the planes is \(\frac{10}{9}\), which is also correct. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are correct. Therefore, the answer is: **Option C: Both 1 and 2.**
