How to determine if any point is in the acute or the obtuse angle between 2 planes












1












$begingroup$


Show that the point $(3, 2, -1)$ lies inside the acute angle formed by the planes
$5x-y+z+3=0$ and $4x-3y+2z+5=0$.



I have tried this by calculating the angles between the plane, passing through the line of intersection of these two planes, and these planes. But the angles can't be calculated without calculator. So I need to get the solution in an easier way without calculator.



I also tried to get a method similar as the case of origin. To get if a origin is in the acute or the obtuse angle b/w 2 planes we check the sign of $a_1a_2+b_1b_2+c_1c_2$ if equations of the planes are $a_1x+b_1y+c_1z+d_1=0$ and $a_2x+b_2y+c_2z+d_2$ provided both $d_1$ and $d_2$ are positive.



I want to get this type of solution for this case also.

    The kind of solution you asked for is outlined in one of the answers below. But it seems to me that the premise of the question is wrong: I do not believe $(3,2,-1)$ is in the acute angle between the planes.

Here is a systematic method to solve all such questions. In general we have two planes $P,Q$ and a point $A$, and we wish to know whether $A$ is within the acute 'angle' between $P$ and $Q$. Let $B$ be the point on $P$ such that $AB ⊥ P$. Let $C$ be the intersection of $AB$ and $Q$. Then we simply have to check whether $A$ is between $B$ and $C$ or not. If $A$ is rational and $P,Q$ are given by rational equations, $B$ and $C$ will also be rational and easy to find.



Another way (pointed out by DRF in chat) is that you can translate the point and the planes by the same vector so that the point goes to the origin, and then apply the test you already have for that case. Translation is rigid, so the answer before and after the translation is the same.

    $begingroup$

    General plane passing through line of intersection of two planes $S_1=0$ and $S_2=0$ is $S_1+k*S_2=0$



    In your case, the general plane is $5x-y+z+3+k(4x-3y+2z+5)=0$.



    Since it passes through the given point $(3,2,-1)$, value of $k$ can be found.



    Now add the two angles between new plane and two original planes to get the final answer.

            General plane passing through line of intersection of two planes $S_1=0$ and $S_2=0$ is $S_1+k*S_2=0$



            In your case, the general plane is $5x-y+z+3+k(4x-3y+2z+5)=0$.



            Since it passes through the given point $(3,2,-1)$, value of $k$ can be found.
