To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle that a line makes with the positive direction of the z-axis, given that it makes an angle of \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) with both the positive x-axis and y-axis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Direction Cosines:** Let the direction cosines of the line be \( L, M, N \), where: - \( L = \cos(\alpha) \) (angle with the x-axis) - \( M = \cos(\beta) \) (angle with the y-axis) ...
