Worked solution
Measure the acute angle using two plane normals
Find the acute angle between the planes
CJC · Lecture · Example 41
Answer
(to 1 decimal place), or radians (to 3 significant figures).
Compare your reasoning
Use the normals and . As in the printed solution, let their angle be :
This gives radians. The normal angle is acute, so it is also the acute angle between the planes. Round separately in the required units to get the two printed answers. Plane constants locate the planes; they do not change this angle.
