Ex 11.2, 9 Find the angle between the following pairs of lines: (i) (๐ฅ โ 2)/2 = (๐ฆ โ 1)/5 = (๐ง + 3)/(โ3) and (๐ฅ + 2)/(โ1) = (๐ฆ โ 4)/8 = (๐ง โ 5)/4Angle between the pair of lines (๐ฅ โ ๐ฅ1)/๐1 = (๐ฆ โ ๐ฆ1)/๐1 = (๐ง โ ๐ง1)/๐1 and (๐ฅ โ ๐ฅ2)/๐2 = (๐ฆ โ ๐ฆ2)/๐2 = (๐ง โ ๐ง2)/๐2 is given by cos ฮธ = |(๐_๐ ๐_๐ + ๐_๐ ๐_๐ +ใ ๐ใ_๐ ๐_๐)/(โ(ใ๐_๐ใ^๐ + ใ๐_๐ใ^๐+ ใ๐_๐ใ^๐ ) โ(ใ๐_๐ใ^๐ +ใใ ๐ใ_๐ใ^๐+ ใ๐_๐ใ^๐ ))| (๐ โ ๐)/๐ = (๐ โ ๐)/๐ = (๐ + ๐)/( โ ๐) (๐ฅ โ 2)/2 = (๐ฆ โ 1)/5 = (๐ง โ (โ3))/( โ 3) Comparing with (๐ฅ โ ๐ฅ1)/๐1 = (๐ฆ โ ๐ฆ1)/๐1 = (๐ง โ ๐ง1)/๐1 x1 = 2, y1 = 1, z1 = โ3 & ๐1 = 2, b1 = 5, c1 = โ3 (๐ + ๐)/( โ ๐) = (๐ โ ๐)/๐ = (๐ โ ๐)/๐ (๐ฅ โ (โ 2))/( โ 1) = (๐ฆ โ 4)/8 = (๐ง โ 5)/4 Comparing with (๐ฅ โ ๐ฅ2)/๐2 = (๐ฆ โ ๐ฆ2)/๐2 = (๐ง โ ๐ง2)/๐2 ๐ฅ2 = โ 2, y2 = 4, z2 = 5 & ๐2 = โ1, ๐2 = 8, ๐2 = 4 Now, cos ฮธ = |(๐_๐ ๐_๐ + ๐_๐ ๐_๐ +ใ ๐ใ_๐ ๐_๐)/(โ(ใ๐_๐ใ^๐ + ใ๐_๐ใ^๐+ ใ๐_๐ใ^๐ ) โ(ใ๐_๐ใ^๐ +ใใ ๐ใ_๐ใ^๐+ ใ๐_๐ใ^๐ ))| = |((2 ร โ1) + (5 ร 8) + ( โ 3 ร 4) )/(โ(2^2 + 5^2 + ใ(โ3)ใ^2 ) โ(ใ(โ1)ใ^2 + 8^2 + 4^2 ))| = |( โ2 + 40 + (โ12) )/(โ(4 + 25 + 9) โ(1 + 64 + 16))| = |๐๐/(โ๐๐ โ๐๐)| = |26/(โ38 ร 9)| = ๐๐/(๐โ๐๐ ) So, cos ฮธ = 26/(9โ38 ) โด ฮธ = cosโ1 (๐๐/(๐โ๐๐ )) Therefore, the angle between the given lines is cos-1 (26/(9โ38 )).
