The sine of the angle between the straight line `(x-2)/3=(y-3)/4=(z-4)/5` and the plane `2x-2y+z=5` isA. `10/(6sqrt(5))`B. `4/(5sqrt(2))`C. `(sqrt(2))/10`D. `(2sqrt(3))/5`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The line is parallel to the vector `vecb=3hati+4hatj+5hatk` and the plane is normal to the vector `vecn=2hati-2hatj+hatk`.
If `theta` is the angle between the line and the plane. Then
`sin theta=(vecb.vecn)/(|vecb||vecn|)impliessin theta=(6-8+5)/(sqrt(50)sqrt(9))=1/(5sqrt(2))=(sqrt(2))/10`
