(a)
To find: The angle between the two planes
(a)
Answer to Problem 52E
The angle between the two planes
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The equation of two planes
Calculation:
Compare the equation of the plane with
So, the normal
The angle between the two planes is equal to the angles between their normal vectors.
Use the formula for angle between two vectors
The dot product of both the vectors
Use the formula for magnitude of vector
Use the formula for magnitude of vector
Substitute all the values in the formula for angle.
The solution for the trigonometric equation
Therefore, the angle between the two planes
(b)
To find: The parametric equations of the line of intersection for the planes
(b)
Answer to Problem 52E
The parametric equations of the line of intersection of the planes
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The equation of two planes
Calculation:
Multiply the second equation of plane by
Substitute
Finally assume that
Substitute
and,
Therefore, the parametric equations of the line of intersection of the planes
