The direction ratios of normal to the plane through (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0) which makes an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ with the plane $x + y = 3 $ are proportional to |
$1, \sqrt{2}, 1$ $1, 1, \sqrt{2}$ $1, 1, 2 $ $\sqrt{2}, 1, 1$ |
$1, 1, \sqrt{2}$ |
Let the direction ratios of the normal to the plane be proportional to a, b, c. Then, the equation of the plane is $a(x-1) + b(y-0) + c(z-0) = 0 $ ................(i) It passes through (0, 1, 0). $a(-1) + b(1) + c(0) = 0 ⇒ a = b $ ..........(ii) It is given that the plane (i) makes an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ with the plane x + y = 3. $∴ cos\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{a×1+b×1+c×0}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}\sqrt{1+1}}$ $⇒ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{a+b}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}\sqrt{2}}$ $⇒\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2} = a+ b $ $⇒ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab ⇒ c^2 = 2ab$ ...............(iii) From (ii) and (iii), we have $a : b : c = a : a : \sqrt{2}a = 1 : 1 : \sqrt{2}$ |
