Show that the vector `i+j+k` is equally inclined with the axes `O X ,\ O Y\ a n d\ O Zdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `vec{a}=hat{i}+hat{j}+hat{k}.`
Then,
`|vec{a}|=sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}=sqrt{3}`
Therefore, the direction cosines of `quad vec{a}`
are `(frac{1}{sqrt{3}}, frac{1}{sqrt{3}}, frac{1}{sqrt{3}}).`
Now, let` alpha, beta, and gamma` be the angles formed by with the positive directions of` x, y, and z `axes.
Then, we have
`cos alpha=frac{1}{sqrt{3}}, cos beta=frac{1}{sqrt{3}}, cos gamma=frac{1}{sqrt{3}} .`
