The angle between two planes with normals n₁ and n₂ is given by

Asin θ = n₁ · n₂ / (|n₁||n₂|)
Bcos θ = |n₁| · |n₂|
Ccos θ = n₁ · n₂ / (|n₁||n₂|)
Dtan θ = n₁ × n₂
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. cos θ = n₁ · n₂ / (|n₁||n₂|)
1. The angle between two planes equals the angle between their normals. 2. Use the dot-product formula for angle between vectors. 3. cos θ = (n₁ · n₂) / (|n₁| · |n₂|). 4. Distractors confuse sin/cos or replace the dot product with magnitudes. _Source: syllabus Maths Part 2 Ch 11 "Three Dimensional Geometry", §11.8_
