Ex 11.1, 1 If a line makes angles 90ยฐ, 135ยฐ, 45ยฐ with the x, y and z โ€“ axes respectively, find its direction cosines. Direction cosines of a line making angle ๐›ผ with x โ€“ axis, ๐›ฝ with y โ€“ axis and ๐›พ with z โ€“ axis are l, m, n l = cos ๐œถ, m = cos ๐œท, n = cos ๐œธ Here, ๐›ผ = 90ยฐ, ๐›ฝ = 135ยฐ, ๐›พ = 45ยฐ, So, direction cosines are l = cos 90ยฐ ๐’Ž = cos 135ยฐ ๐’ = cos 45ยฐ = cos (180 โ€“ 45ยฐ) = โ€“cos 45ยฐ = (โˆ’๐Ÿ)/โˆš๐Ÿ = ๐Ÿ/โˆš๐Ÿ Therefore, required direction cosines are 0, ( โˆ’๐Ÿ)/โˆš๐Ÿ , ๐Ÿ/โˆš๐Ÿ .
