$${l}:\:\left(\mathrm{3},−\mathrm{1},\:\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$${n}:\:\left(\mathrm{3},\:\mathrm{4},\:\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\phi=\mathrm{90}°−\theta \\ $$$$=\mathrm{90}°−\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{{l}\centerdot{n}}{\mid{l}\mid\mid{n}\mid} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{{l}\centerdot{n}}{\mid{l}\mid\mid{n}\mid} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{\left(\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{2}\right)}{\:\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{4}\right)\left(\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{16}+\mathrm{1}\right)}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{21}.\mathrm{525}° \\ $$

$$\mathrm{why}\:\mathrm{n}:\:\left(\mathrm{3},\mathrm{4},\mathrm{5}\right)\:?\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{should}\:\left(\mathrm{3},\mathrm{4},\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$
