Ex 11.1, 3 If a line has the direction ratios โˆ’18, 12, โˆ’4, then what are its direction cosines?If direction ratios of a line are a, b, c direction cosines are ๐’‚/โˆš(๐’‚^๐Ÿ + ๐’ƒ^๐Ÿ + ๐’„^๐Ÿ ) , ๐’ƒ/โˆš(๐’‚^๐Ÿ + ๐’ƒ^๐Ÿ + ๐’„^๐Ÿ ) , ๐’„/โˆš(๐’‚^๐Ÿ + ๐’ƒ^๐Ÿ + ๐’„^๐Ÿ ) Given, Direction ratios = โˆ’18, 12, โˆ’4 ๐’‚ = โˆ’18, b = 12, c = โˆ’4 And, โˆš(๐’‚๐Ÿ+๐’ƒ๐Ÿ+๐’„๐Ÿ) = โˆš((โˆ’18)2+122+(โˆ’4)2) โˆš(๐’‚๐Ÿ+๐’ƒ๐Ÿ+๐’„๐Ÿ) = โˆš((โˆ’18)2+122+(โˆ’4)2) = โˆš(324+144+16) = โˆš484 = 22 Therefore, Direction cosines = ๐‘Ž/โˆš(๐‘Ž^2 + ๐‘^2 + ๐‘^2 ) , ๐‘/โˆš(๐‘Ž^2 + ๐‘^2 + ๐‘^2 ) , ๐‘/โˆš(๐‘Ž^2 + ๐‘^2 + ๐‘^2 ) = (โˆ’18)/22 , 12/22 , (โˆ’4)/22 = (โˆ’๐Ÿ—)/๐Ÿ๐Ÿ , ๐Ÿ”/๐Ÿ๐Ÿ , (โˆ’๐Ÿ)/๐Ÿ๐Ÿ
