What are direction cosines.????????????
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
these are the direction cosine

Answer:
If α, , β γ are the angles made by a directed line segment with the positive
directions of the coordinate axes respectively, then cos a, cos b, cos g are called the direction cosines of the given line and they are denoted by l, m, n respectively
Thus l = α cos , m = cos , β n = cos γ
The direction cosines of op- are
l = α cos , m = cos , β n = cos γ .
If l, m, n are the d.c’s of a line L is one direction then the d.c’s of the same line in the opposite direction are –l, –m, –n.
Note : The angles α, , β γ are known as the direction angles and satisfy the
Note : The angles α, , β γ are known as the direction angles and satisfy the condition 0 ,, ≤ α β γ ≤ π .
Note : The sum of the angles α, , β γ is not equal to 2p because they do not lie in the same plane.
