To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \sin^2 \alpha + \sin^2 \beta + \sin^2 \gamma \) where \( \alpha, \beta, \) and \( \gamma \) are the angles that a directed line makes with the positive directions of the coordinate axes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Directional Ratios**: The directional cosines of a line are defined as: \[ l = \cos \alpha, \quad m = \cos \beta, \quad n = \cos \gamma ...
