Question in Content created by Newcastle University
A plane goes through three given non-collinear points in 3-space. Find the Cartesian equation of the plane in the form $ax+by+cz=d$.
There is a problem in that this equation can be multiplied by a constant and be correct. Perhaps d can be given as this makes a,b and c unique and the method of the question will give the correct solution.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find the Cartesian form $ax+by+cz=d$ of the equation of the plane $\boldsymbol{r=r_0+\lambda a+\mu b}$.
The solution is not unique. The constant on right hand side could be given to ensure that the left hand side is unique.

Find angle between plane $\Pi_1$, given by three points, and the plane $\Pi_2$ given in Cartesian form.
The calculation of $cos(\alpha)$ at the end of Advice has fractionNumbers switched on and so the result is presented as a fraction, which can be misleading. Best if calculation is followed through without using fractionNumbers.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find minimum distance between a point and a line in 3-space. The line goes through a given point in the direction of a given vector.
The correct solution is given, however the accuracy of 0.001 is not enough as in some cases answers near to the correct solution are also marked as correct.
