प्रश्न

If a line makes an angle of 30°, 60°, 90° with the positive direction of x, y, z-axes, respectively, then find its direction cosines.

योग

उत्तर

The direction cosines of a line which makes an angle of α, β, γ with the axes, are cosα, cosβ, cosγ

Therefore, D.C.’s of the line are cos30°, cos60°, cos90°

i.e., `+(sqrt(3)/2, 1/2, 0)`
