SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the mathematical relationship between two perpendicular planes defined by the equations A1x + B1y + C1z + D1 = 0 and A2x + B2y + C2z + D2 = 0. It is established that the expression A1A2 + B1B2 + C1C2 represents the dot product of the normals to these planes. Since the planes are perpendicular, this dot product equals zero, confirming the solution provided by the participant.
