Ex 11.2, 1 Show that the three lines with direction cosines 12/13, (āˆ’3)/13, ( āˆ’4)/13 ; 4/13, 12/13, 3/13 ; 3/13,( āˆ’ 4)/13, 12/13 are mutually perpendicular. Two lines with direction cosines š‘™_1, š‘š_1 , š‘›_1 & š‘™_2, š‘š_2 , š‘›_2 are perpendicular to each other if š’šŸ š’šŸ + š’ŽšŸ š’ŽšŸ + š’šŸ š’šŸ = 0 Line 1 š‘™1 = 12/13, m1 = (āˆ’3)/13 , n1 = (āˆ’4)/13 Line 2 š‘™2 = 4/13, m2 = 12/13 , n2 = 3/13 š’šŸ š’šŸ + š’ŽšŸ š’ŽšŸ + š’šŸ š’šŸ = (12/13Ɨ4/13) + ((āˆ’3)/13Ɨ12/13) + ((āˆ’4)/13 Ɨ3/13) = 48/169 + ((āˆ’36)/169) + ((āˆ’12)/169) = (48 āˆ’ 36 āˆ’ 12)/169 = (48 āˆ’ 48)/169 = 0 ∓ š‘™1 š‘™2 + š‘š1 š‘š2 + š‘›1 š‘›2 = 0 Hence, Line 1 and Line 2 are perpendicular. Checking Line 2 and Line 3 Line 2 š‘™2 = 4/13, m2 = 12/13 , n2 = 3/13 Line 3 š‘™3 = 3/13, m3 = (āˆ’4)/13 , n3 = 12/13 Now, š’šŸ š’šŸ‘ + š’ŽšŸ š’ŽšŸ‘ + š’šŸ š’šŸ‘ = (4/13Ɨ3/13) + (12/13Ɨ( āˆ’ 4)/13) + (3/13Ɨ12/13) = 12/169 + (( āˆ’ 48)/169) + 36/169 = (12 āˆ’ 48 + 36)/169 = (48 āˆ’ 48)/169 = 0 ∓ š‘™2 š‘™3 + š‘š2 š‘š3 + š‘›2 š‘›3 = 0 Hence, Line 2 and Line 3 are perpendicular. Checking Line 1 and Line 3 Line 1 š‘™1 = 12/13, m1 = (āˆ’3)/13 , n1 = (āˆ’4)/13 Line 3 š‘™3 = 3/13, m3 = (āˆ’4)/13 , n3 = 12/13 Now, š’šŸ š’šŸ‘ + š’ŽšŸ š’ŽšŸ‘ + š’šŸ š’šŸ‘ = (3/13Ɨ12/13) + (( āˆ’4)/13Ɨ(āˆ’3)/13) + (12/13Ɨ(āˆ’4)/13) = 36/169 + 12/169 + ((āˆ’48)/169) = (36 + 12 āˆ’ 48)/169 = (48 āˆ’ 48)/169 = 0 ∓ š‘™1 š‘™3 + š‘š1 š‘š3 + š‘›1 š‘›3 = 0 Hence, the Line 1 and 3 are perpendicular. Thus, all 3 lines are mutually perpendicular.
