Answer: DAT
DETERMINE THE
ANGLE BETWEEN A
LINE AND A PLANE
Identify the angle between lines and planes of the
following:
(a) AG and Plane ABCD
(b) AG and plane EFGH
(c) AG and plane ABFE
(d) AG and plane CBFG
10 cm
6 cm
8 cm
In the diagram, ABCDEFGH is a cuboid of length 8 cm,
width 6 cm and height 10 cm. Find the
value of d. Hence, calculate the angle between lines and
planes of the following:
(a) AG and Plane ABCD
(b) AG and plane EFGH
(c) AG and plane ABFE
(d) AG and plane CBFG
