Question 12

Answer 12

Question 13

What is the Cartesian equation of a line general form from the vector equation of a line?

Answer 13

Question 14

Answer 14

Question 15

What is the vector equation for a plane?

Answer 15

Question 16

Answer 16

Question 17

What is the Cartesian equation of a plane (in 3D) ?

Answer 17

Question 18

What is the geometric interpretation of d in the Cartesian equation of a plane ?

Answer 18

If a, b ,c are the same then the planes are parallel, d determines the location of the plane. The normal vector (a, b,c) determines the direction

Question 19

how do you calculate the angle between two lines?

Answer 19

1. look at the direction vectors of two lines
2. scalar product

Question 20

how do you calculate the angle between 2 planes?

Answer 20

1. look at the normal vector of the two planes
2. scalar product

make sure you give acute angle (180 - x) if asked

Question 26

what are the 5 possible ways within which 3 planes can intersect?

Answer 26

1. all 3 planes parallel 2. 2 planes parallel and one cutting through (no planes parallel) 3. all points intersect at 1 point 4. **sheaf**: all 3 planes share a common line 5. **triangular prisim**: 3 pairs of straight lines are all parallel
