उत्तर १

A-line makes 90° and 135°, 45°with x, y and z axes, respectively.

Therefore, Direction cosines of the line are cos 90°, cos135°, and cos45°

⇒ Direction cosines of the line are 0, `-(1)/sqrt(2),(1)/sqrt(2)`

उत्तर २

Let the direction cosines of the line be l, m and n.

a = 90°, b = 135°, c = 45°

Now,

l = cos a = cos 90° = 0

m = cos b = cos 135° = `-1/sqrt2`

n = cos c = cos 45° = `1/sqrt2`

direction cosines of a line = `0, -1/sqrt2, 1/sqrt2`
