TopicVectors: Lines & Planes

7 The points \(A , B , C\) have position vectors $$2 \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } , \quad - \mathbf { j } + \mathbf { k } \quad \text { and } \quad 2 \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } - 7 \mathbf { k }$$ respectively, relative to the origin \(O\).
  1. Find an equation of the plane \(O A B\), giving your answer in the form \(\mathbf { r } . \mathbf { n } = p\).
    The plane \(\Pi\) has equation \(\mathrm { x } - 3 \mathrm { y } - 2 \mathrm { z } = 1\).
  2. Find the perpendicular distance of \(\Pi\) from the origin.
  3. Find the acute angle between the planes \(O A B\) and \(\Pi\).
  4. Find an equation for the common perpendicular to the lines \(O C\) and \(A B\).
    If you use the following lined page to complete the answer(s) to any question(s), the question number(s) must be clearly shown.
