let vector a make ¢ angle with x , y ,z axes .
according to direction cosine ,
cos^2¢ +cos^2¢ +cos^2¢ =1
3cos^2¢ =1
take square root both side
√3cos¢ = +_ 1
so, ¢ =cos^-1(+_1/√3) = cos^-(1/√3)
now ,
x -component = cos^-1(1/√3)
y -component =cos^-1(1/√3)
z -component =cos^-1(1/√3)

we know that vector in three dimensions makes an angle
i.e. cos^2x+cos^2y+cos^2z = 1
as, x=y=z
cos^2x = 1/3
cos x=1/√3
So, Value
of its components (in terms of magnitude of A) will be A/√3
Hope it helps
