Angle between planes
θ = arccos (n1•n2/||n1|| ||n2||)
Distance between planes
d = |Ax + By + Cz + D| / root(A^2 + B^2 + C^2)
Angle between lines
θ = arccos (n1•n2/||n1|| ||n2||)
Or
= arccos (d1•d2/||d1|| ||d2||)
Distance between lines
d = |PoP•n|/||n||
Or
= |Ax + By + C|/||n||
Angle of inclination
arctan(y/x)
Dot product (geometric)
v•w = ||v|| ||w|| cosθ
Dot product (Cartesian)
v•w = x1x2 + y1y2 + z1z2
Unit vector formula
Unit vector = 1/magnitude (vector)
Scalar property - dot product
V•w is a real number
Commutative property - dot product
V•w = w•v
Scalar 0 property - dot product
V•0 vector = 0 = 0 vector•v
Dot product v•v
= ||v|| squared
Associativity - dot product
(Kv) • w = k(v•w) = v•(kw) for scalar k
Distributive property - dot product
U•(v+/-w) = u•v +/- u•w
Projection of a onto b
a1 = a⬇️b
||a⬇️b|| = |a•b|/||b||
a⬇️b = a•b/||b||^2 •b
