20. If a line makes angles 90° and 60° respectively with the positive directions of x and y axes, find the angle which it makes with the positive direction ofz-axis. [Delhi 2017]
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
Let angle with z-axis be γ.
cos²90° + cos²60° + cos² γ = 1
⇒ 0 + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + cos² γ = 1
⇒ cos² γ = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
cos γ = \(\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
γ = 30°, 150°
