Find equation of plane that contains y-axis makes an angle of pi/6 with the positive x-axis

Question

anonymous · Answer

I guess I could use three points.  If I use (0,0,0), (1, 0,1/sqrt(3)) and (1,1, 1/sqrt(3)_

amistre64 · Answer

3 points will work as long as they meet the critieria

amistre64 · Answer

0,0,0

0,1,0

x,0,z

where x and z are the results of the tilt

anonymous · Answer

yes, I am using x = 1 to solve for my z

anonymous · Answer

The answer I cam up with was

-1/3 x - z = 0

my thought would amount to using

2,0,1  to avoid fractions and such

amistre64 · Answer

err, sqrt(3),0,1  maybe

forogt how to divvy up a 30 degree angle :)

amistre64 · Answer

x 0 sqrt3 ; x = 1
y 1   0     ; y= -(1-sqrt3)
z 0   1     ; z= -sqrt(3)

x -(1-sqrt3)y -sqrt3 z = 0

but i might be rusty
