3-D Geometry: Direction Ratios and Direction Cosines(13 Dec) - Question 3

What are the direction cosines of a line which is equally inclined to the positive directions of the axes?

Detailed Solution for 3-D Geometry: Direction Ratios and Direction Cosines(13 Dec) - Question 3

Let ℓ,m,n are the dc's of a line that is inclined equally at α to the + ve direction of axes. Now, ℓ = cosα, m = cosα, n = cosα
Also, ℓ+ m+ n2 = 1

∴ dc's of the line are : 

3-D Geometry: Direction Ratios and Direction Cosines(13 Dec) - Question 4
A line makes the same angle with each of the and axes. If the angle , which it makes with the -axis, is such that , then what is the value of ?
Detailed Solution for 3-D Geometry: Direction Ratios and Direction Cosines(13 Dec) - Question 4
Since

line makes the same angle with and -axes and with z-axis) Also,

.......(2)
- From equation (i) and (ii)
3-D Geometry: Direction Ratios and Direction Cosines(13 Dec) - Question 5

If a line makes angle and with the -axis and -axis respectively, then the angle made by the line with the -axis is

Detailed Solution for 3-D Geometry: Direction Ratios and Direction Cosines(13 Dec) - Question 5

We know that,
cos2α + cos2β + cos2γ = 1
∴ 

3-D Geometry: Direction Ratios and Direction Cosines(13 Dec) - Question 6

The direction cosines of two lines are related by l + m + n = 0 and al+ bm+ cn= 0. The lines are parallel if

Detailed Solution for 3-D Geometry: Direction Ratios and Direction Cosines(13 Dec) - Question 6

For n = −(l + m), the second relation gives or

For parallel lines, the two roots must be equal
Dividing by will get final answer.
