To find the direction cosines of a line that makes angles of \(90^\circ\), \(135^\circ\), and \(45^\circ\) with the x, y, and z axes respectively, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Direction Cosines Direction cosines are the cosines of the angles that a line makes with the coordinate axes. If a line makes angles \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), and \(\gamma\) with the x, y, and z axes respectively, then the direction cosines \(l\), \(m\), and \(n\) are given by: - \(l = \cos \alpha\) - \(m = \cos \beta\) - \(n = \cos \gamma\) ...
