Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
Angle between lines defined by plane intersections The direction vector of a line formed by two planes' intersection is the cross product of their normal vectors. For the first line, with planes x - 3y - 4 = 0 and 4y - z + 5 = 0 , the normals are n₁ = 1, -3, 0 and n₂ = 0, 4, -1 . The cross product yields the direction vector: d₁ = n₁ n₂ = 3, 1, 4 For the second line, given by x + 3y - 11 = 0 and 2y - z + 6 = 0 , the normals are n₃ = 1, 3, 0 and n₄ = 0, 2, -1 . The direction vector is: d₂ = n₃ n₄ = -3, 1, 2 The angl
