(i) The angle between the two lines is given by
cosθ = \(\frac{R_1.R_2}{|R_1||R_2|}\)
where R1 and R2 denote the vectors with the direction ratios,
So, here we have,
R1 = i - j + k and R2 = i for x- axis
Hence,θ = cos-1(\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\))
(ii) The angle between the two lines is given by
cosθ = \(\frac{R_1.R_2}{|R_1||R_2|}\)
where R1 and R2 denote the vectors with the direction ratios,
So, here we have,
R1 = j - k and R2 = i for x- axis
Hence,θ = \(\frac{3\pi}{4}\)
(iii) The angle between the two lines is given by
cosθ = \(\frac{R_1.R_2}{|R_1||R_2|}\)
where R1 and R2 denote the vectors with the direction ratios,
So, here we have,
R1 = i - 4j + 8k and R2 = i for x- axis
