A hint to get started
Construct a line equidistant from two perpendicular planes
A=(0,2,0), B=(1,0,2), and plane π1 is .
(i) Find a vector equation of AB. marks
(ii) Show AB lies in π1. mark
(iii) Plane π2 contains AB and is perpendicular to π1. Show its equation is . marks
(iv) P=(p,0,0) is equidistant from π1,π2. Calculate p. marks
(v) Hence write down a line equidistant from π1,π2 which does not intersect either plane. marks
