Question
Question: The angle between the lines \(\frac { x + 4 } { 1 } = \frac { y - 3 } { 2 } = \frac { z + 2 } { 3 }\...
The angle between the lines 1x+4=2y−3=3z+2 and 3x=−2y−1=1z is
A
sin−1(71)
B
cos−1(72)
C
cos−1(71)
D
None of these
Answer
cos−1(71)
Explanation
Solution
Angle between two lines,
cosθ=a12+b12+c12a22+b22+c22a1a2+b1b2+c1c2
∴cosθ=12+22+3232+(−2)2+121×3+2×−2+3×1 =14142
∴θ=cos−1(71).
