29.4.2 The Angle Between a Line and a Plane
Core ideaThe line–plane angle is the "complement" of the angle between direction d and normal n, found with sinθ=|d·n|/(|d||n|).
Module goal. Use the angle formulas for direction and normal vectors to turn abstract spatial angles into coordinate calculations, working out angles between lines, between a line and a plane, and dihedral angles in a systematic way.
