The angle between the planes x + y + z = 1 and x − y + z = 1 is:

Answer: arccos(1/3).

  • A arccos(1/3)
  • B arccos(2/3)
  • C 60°
  • D 90°

Correct answer: A. arccos(1/3)

Explanation: cosθ = (1·1 + 1·(−1) + 1·1)/(√3·√3) = 1/3, so the angle is arccos(1/3).

zxyOP (x, y, z)

Three mutually perpendicular axes x, y, z meeting at the origin O, with a point P located by its (x, y, z) coordinates.

Concept context

Lines and planes in 3D space, direction cosines, distances, and angles
