Question
In the following cases, determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them.
$2x - 2y + 4z + 5 = 0$ and $3x - 3y + 6z - 1 = 0$
✓

Answer

The direction ratios of normal to the plane, $L_1: a_1x + b_1y + c_1z = 0,$
are $a_1, b_1, c_1$_ and $L_2: a_2x + b_2y + c_2z = 0$ are $a_2, b_2, c_2$​​​​​​​ 
$\text{L}_1||\text{L}_2,\ \text{if }\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}$
$\text{L}_1\perp\text{L}_2,\ \text{if}\ \text{a}_1\text{a}_2+\text{b}_1\text{b}_2+\text{c}_1\text{c}_2=0$
The angle between L_1 and L_2 is given by,
$\text{Q}=\cos^{-1}\Bigg|\frac{\text{a}_1\text{a}_2+\text{b}_1\text{b}_2+\text{c}_1\text{c}_2}{\sqrt{\text{a}_1^2+\text{b}_1^2+\text{c}_1^2}.\sqrt{\text{a}_2^2+\text{b}_2^2+\text{c}_2^2}}$
The equations of the given planes are $2x - 2y + 4z + 5 = 0$ and $3x - 3y + 6z - 1 = 0$
Here, $a_1 = 2, b_1 = -2, c_1 = 4$ and $a_2 = 3, b_2 = -3, c_2 = 6$
$a_1a_2 +b_1b_2 + c_1c_2 = 2 \times 3 + (-2) \times (-3) + 4 \times 6 = 6 + 6 + 24$
$=36\neq0$
Thus, the given planes are not perpendicular to each other.
$\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{2}{3},\ \frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{-2}{-3}=\frac{2}{3}\text{ and } \frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore\ \ \frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}$
Thus, the given planes are parallel to each other.
