`vec{a}=l_{1} hat{i}+m_{1} hat{j}+n_{1} widehat{k} `

` vec{b}=l_{2} hat{i}+m_{2} hat{j}+n_{2} widehat{k} `

` vec{c}=l_{3} hat{i}+m_{3} hat{j}+n_{3} widehat{k}`

the direction vector associated with directions cosines ` I_{1}+I_{2}+I_{3}, m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3}, n_{1}+n_{2}+n_{3}`

` vec{p}=(1_{1}+l_{2}+l_{3}) hat{i}+(m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3}) hat{i}+(n_{1}+n_{2}+n_{3}) widehat{k}`
