Find the angle between the following pair of lines:  

- x + 2- 2 = y - 17 = z + 3- 3   and   x + 2- 1 = 2 y - 84 = z - 54

And check whether the lines are parallel or perpendicular.


Let  b1  and   b2  be the two vector parallel to the pair to lines,- x + 2- 2 = y - 17 = z + 3- 3    and    x + 2- 1 = 2 y - 84 = z - 54, respectively.Now,  - x + 2- 2 = y - 17 = z + 3- 3  x - 2 2 = y - 17 = z + 3- 3 x + 2- 1 = 2 y - 84 = z - 54 x + 2- 1 =  y - 42 = z - 54

 b1  =  2 i^ + 7 j^ - 3 k^   and     b2  =  - i^ + 2 j^ + 4 k^  b1  =   2 2 +  7 2 +  - 3 2 =  62  b2  =   - 1 2 +  2 2 +   4  2 =  21b1 . b2  =   2 i^ + 7 j^ - 3 k^  . - i^ + 2 j^ + 4 k^              = 2 ( - 1 ) + 7 x 2 + ( - 3 ) . 4

           = - 2 + 14 - 12

           = 0

The angle  θ  between the given pair of lines is given by the relation,

cos θ =  b1 . b2 b1   b2    cos θ = 0 62 x  21 = 0 θ = cos-1 ( 0 ) = π2

Thus, the given lines are perpendicular to each other and the angle

between them is 900.
