A vector makes an angle of `pi/4` with each of x-axis and y-axis Find the angle made by it with the z-axis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, `alpha=frac{pi}{4}, beta=frac{pi}{4}, gamma=gamma `
`{l}=cos alpha `
`=cos frac{pi}{4} `
`Rightarrow {l}=frac{1}{sqrt{2}}`
`{m}=cos alpha `
`=cos frac{pi}{4} `
`Rightarrow {m}=frac{1}{sqrt{2}}`
