    PROBLEM 91. Find the equations of the bisectors of the angles between the planes and .SOLUTION:

    To find the equations of the bisectors, we use the distance formula of a point to a plane.

    Equations of the bisectors are loci of a point that is equidistant from the plane.

    Let an arbitrary point on the locus. be the distance from the first plane. be the distance from the second plane. | | | | | | | |
