Ex 11.2, 1 Show that the three lines with direction cosines 12/13, (โˆ’3)/13, ( โˆ’4)/13 ; 4/13, 12/13, 3/13 ; 3/13,( โˆ’ 4)/13, 12/13 are mutually perpendicular. Two lines with direction cosines ๐‘™_1, ๐‘š_1 , ๐‘›_1 & ๐‘™_2, ๐‘š_2 , ๐‘›_2 are perpendicular to each other if ๐’๐Ÿ ๐’๐Ÿ + ๐’Ž๐Ÿ ๐’Ž๐Ÿ + ๐’๐Ÿ ๐’๐Ÿ = 0 Line 1 ๐‘™1 = 12/13, m1 = (โˆ’3)/13 , n1 = (โˆ’4)/13 Line 2 ๐‘™2 = 4/13, m2 = 12/13 , n2 = 3/13 ๐’๐Ÿ ๐’๐Ÿ + ๐’Ž๐Ÿ ๐’Ž๐Ÿ + ๐’๐Ÿ ๐’๐Ÿ = (12/13ร—4/13) + ((โˆ’3)/13ร—12/13) + ((โˆ’4)/13 ร—3/13) = 48/169 + ((โˆ’36)/169) + ((โˆ’12)/169) = (48 โˆ’ 36 โˆ’ 12)/169 = (48 โˆ’ 48)/169 = 0 โˆด ๐‘™1 ๐‘™2 + ๐‘š1 ๐‘š2 + ๐‘›1 ๐‘›2 = 0 Hence, Line 1 and Line 2 are perpendicular. Checking Line 2 and Line 3 Line 2 ๐‘™2 = 4/13, m2 = 12/13 , n2 = 3/13 Line 3 ๐‘™3 = 3/13, m3 = (โˆ’4)/13 , n3 = 12/13 Now, ๐’๐Ÿ ๐’๐Ÿ‘ + ๐’Ž๐Ÿ ๐’Ž๐Ÿ‘ + ๐’๐Ÿ ๐’๐Ÿ‘ = (4/13ร—3/13) + (12/13ร—( โˆ’ 4)/13) + (3/13ร—12/13) = 12/169 + (( โˆ’ 48)/169) + 36/169 = (12 โˆ’ 48 + 36)/169 = (48 โˆ’ 48)/169 = 0 โˆด ๐‘™2 ๐‘™3 + ๐‘š2 ๐‘š3 + ๐‘›2 ๐‘›3 = 0 Hence, Line 2 and Line 3 are perpendicular. Checking Line 1 and Line 3 Line 1 ๐‘™1 = 12/13, m1 = (โˆ’3)/13 , n1 = (โˆ’4)/13 Line 3 ๐‘™3 = 3/13, m3 = (โˆ’4)/13 , n3 = 12/13 Now, ๐’๐Ÿ ๐’๐Ÿ‘ + ๐’Ž๐Ÿ ๐’Ž๐Ÿ‘ + ๐’๐Ÿ ๐’๐Ÿ‘ = (3/13ร—12/13) + (( โˆ’4)/13ร—(โˆ’3)/13) + (12/13ร—(โˆ’4)/13) = 36/169 + 12/169 + ((โˆ’48)/169) = (36 + 12 โˆ’ 48)/169 = (48 โˆ’ 48)/169 = 0 โˆด ๐‘™1 ๐‘™3 + ๐‘š1 ๐‘š3 + ๐‘›1 ๐‘›3 = 0 Hence, the Line 1 and 3 are perpendicular. Thus, all 3 lines are mutually perpendicular.
