find the angle of plane  2x−y+2z=1 and x+3y−2z = 2

$$\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{angle}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{plane} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2x}−\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{2z}=\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{3y}−\mathrm{2z}\:=\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$

let β = angle the plane   cos β = ((∣2.1+(−1).3+2.(−2)∣)/((√9) (√(14)))) = (5/(3(√(14))))  β = cos^(−1) ((5/(3(√(14)))))   the formula cos β = ((∣a_1 a_2 +b_1 b_2 +c_1 c_2 ∣)/((√(a_1 ^2 +b_1 ^2 +c_1 ^2 )) (√(a_2 ^2 +b_2 ^2 +c_2 ^2 ))))

$$\mathrm{let}\:\beta\:=\:\mathrm{angle}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{plane}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\beta\:=\:\frac{\mid\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{1}+\left(−\mathrm{1}\right).\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{2}.\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)\mid}{\sqrt{\mathrm{9}}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{14}}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{14}}} \\ $$$$\beta\:=\:\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{14}}}\right)\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{formula}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\beta\:=\:\frac{\mid\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{2}} \mid}{\sqrt{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{2}} }\:\sqrt{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{2}} }}\: \\ $$

n_1 ^→ =(2,−1,2)=normal of plane 1  n_2 ^→ =(1, 3, −2)=normal of plane 2  n_1 ^→ ∙n_2 ^→ =∣n_1 ^→ ∣∣n_2 ^→ ∣cos θ  cos θ=((n_1 ^→ ∙n_2 ^→ )/(∣n_1 ^→ ∣∣n_2 ^→ ∣))=((2×1−1×3−2×2)/((√(2^2 +1^2 +2^2 ))×(√(1^2 +3^2 +2^2 ))))=((5(√(14)))/(42))  ⇒θ=cos^(−1) ((5(√(14)))/(42))
