Find the angles at which the normal vector to the plane `4x+8y+z=5` is inclined to the coordinate axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `\vec {{n}}` be a vector normal to the plane. Since direction ratios of normal to the plane are proportional to `4,8,1.`
Therefore, `\vec {{n}}=4 \hat{{i}}+8 \hat{{j}}+\hat{{k}}`
Direction cosines of `\vec {{n}} `are
`\frac{4}{9}, \frac{8}{9}, \frac{1}{9}`
