Question:

Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be two planes given by $ P_1: 10 x+15 y+12 z-60=0,$ $ P_2:-2 x+5 y+4 z-20=0 $ Which of the following straight lines can be an edge of some tetrahedron whose two faces lie on $P_1$ and $P_2$ ?

  • $\frac{x-1}{0}=\frac{y-1}{0}=\frac{z-1}{5}$
  • $\frac{x-6}{-5}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z}{3}$
  • $\frac{x}{-2}=\frac{y-4}{5}=\frac{z}{4}$
  • $\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y-4}{-2}=\frac{z}{3}$

Three Dimensional Geometry

Mathematically, Geometry is one of the most important topics. The concepts of Geometry are derived w.r.t. the planes. So, Geometry is divided into three major categories based on its dimensions which are one-dimensional geometry, two-dimensional geometry, and three-dimensional geometry.

Direction Cosines and Direction Ratios of Line:

Consider a line L that is passing through the three-dimensional plane. Now, x,y and z are the axes of the plane and Ξ±,Ξ², and Ξ³ are the three angles the line makes with these axes. These are commonly known as the direction angles of the plane. So, appropriately, we can say that cosΞ±, cosΞ², and cosΞ³ are the direction cosines of the given line L.
