Options
- A2 3
- B4 3
- C1 3
- D5 3
Correct answer
A. 2 3
Step-by-step solution
Direction vector of the line: b = 1, 2, Normal vector of the plane: n = 1, 2, 3 The angle between the line and plane satisfies = | b n | | b | | n | Given = ⁻¹ 5 14 , then = 1 - 5 14 = 3 14 Compute b n = 1 + 4 + 3 = 5 + 3 Magnitudes: | b | = 5 + ^2 , | n | = 14 Substitute into the sine formula: 3 14 = |5 + 3 | 5 + ^2 14 Simplify: 3 = |5 + 3 | 5 + ^2 Squaring both sides: 9 = (5 + 3 )^2 5 + ^2 Cross-multiply and simplify: 9(5 + ^2) = 25 + 30 + 9 ^2 45 + 9 ^2 = 25 + 30 + 9 ^2 20 = 30 Solving gives = 2 3 Final answer:
