To find the angle made by the line with the z-axis, we can use the relationship between the angles a line makes with the three coordinate axes (x, y, and z). The angles made with the axes are denoted as α (with the x-axis), β (with the y-axis), and γ (with the z-axis). 1. **Given Angles:** - The angle with the x-axis, α = π/3 - The angle with the y-axis, β = π/4 2. **Using the Relationship:** The relationship between the angles is given by the equation: ...
