The lines l and m have vector equations
\(\mathbf{r} = \mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k} + s(\mathbf{i} - \mathbf{j} + 2\mathbf{k})\)
and
\(\mathbf{r} = 4\mathbf{i} + 6\mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k} + t(2\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k})\)
respectively.
- Show that l and m intersect.
- Calculate the acute angle between the lines.
