Misc 1 Find the angle between the lines whose direction ratios are a, b, c and b โˆ’ c, c โˆ’ a, a โˆ’ b. Angle between the lines with direction ratios a1, b1, c1 and a2, b2, c2 is given by cos ฮธ = |(๐’‚_๐Ÿ ๐’‚_๐Ÿ + ๐’ƒ_๐Ÿ ๐’ƒ_๐Ÿ + ๐’„_๐Ÿ ๐’„_๐Ÿ)/(โˆš(๐’‚_๐Ÿ^๐Ÿ + ๐’ƒ_๐Ÿ^๐Ÿ + ๐’„_๐Ÿ^๐Ÿ ) โˆš(๐’‚_๐Ÿ^๐Ÿ + ๐’ƒ_๐Ÿ^๐Ÿ + ๐’„_๐Ÿ^๐Ÿ ))| Given, ๐‘Ž1 = ๐‘Ž, ๐‘1 = ๐‘, c1 = c and ๐‘Ž2 = ๐‘ โˆ’ ๐‘, ๐‘2 = ๐‘ โˆ’ ๐‘Ž, c2 = a โ€“ b So, cos ฮธ = |(๐‘Ž(๐‘ โˆ’ ๐‘) + ๐‘(๐‘ โˆ’ ๐‘Ž) + ๐‘(๐‘Ž โˆ’ ๐‘))/(โˆš(๐‘Ž^2 + ๐‘^2 + ๐‘^2 ) โˆš((๐‘ โˆ’ ๐‘)2 + (๐ถ โˆ’ ๐‘Ž)2 + (๐‘Ž โˆ’ ๐‘)2))| = |(๐’‚๐’ƒ โˆ’ ๐’‚๐’„ + ๐’ƒ๐’„ โˆ’ ๐’‚๐’ƒ + ๐’„๐’‚ โˆ’ ๐’ƒ๐’„)/(โˆš(๐‘Ž^2 + ๐‘^2 + ๐‘^2 ) โˆš(๐‘^2 + ๐‘2 โˆ’ 2๐‘๐‘ + ๐‘^2 + ๐‘Ž^2 โˆ’ 2๐‘๐‘Ž + ๐‘Ž^2 + ๐‘^2 โˆ’ 2๐‘Ž๐‘ ))| = |๐ŸŽ/(โˆš(๐‘Ž^2 + ๐‘^2 + ๐‘^2 ) โˆš(๐‘^2 + ๐‘2 โˆ’ 2๐‘๐‘ + ๐‘^2 + ๐‘Ž^2 โˆ’ 2๐‘๐‘Ž + ๐‘Ž^2 + ๐‘^2 โˆ’ 2๐‘Ž๐‘ ))| = 0 Since cos ฮธ = 0 So, ฮธ = 90ยฐ Therefore, angle between the given pair of lines is 90ยฐ
