The correct Answer is:
To find the sine ratio of the angle that a vector makes with the Z-axis, given the angles it makes with the X and Y axes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the angles**: Let \( \alpha \) be the angle between the vector and the X-axis, and \( \beta \) be the angle between the vector and the Y-axis. We are given: \[ \alpha = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2146}}{65}\right) \] \[ \beta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right) \] 2. **Find the sine values**: From the definitions of sine, we have: \[ \sin \alpha = \frac{\sqrt{2146}}{65} \] \[ \sin \beta = \frac{12}{13} \] 3. **Use the relationship for cosines**: We know that: \[ \cos^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \beta + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \] where \( \gamma \) is the angle with the Z-axis. We can find \( \cos \alpha \) and \( \cos \beta \) using the identity \( \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta \). 4. **Calculate \( \cos^2 \alpha \)**: \[ \cos^2 \alpha = 1 - \sin^2 \alpha = 1 - \left(\frac{\sqrt{2146}}{65}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{2146}{4225} \] \[ \cos^2 \alpha = \frac{4225 - 2146}{4225} = \frac{2079}{4225} \] 5. **Calculate \( \cos^2 \beta \)**: \[ \cos^2 \beta = 1 - \sin^2 \beta = 1 - \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{144}{169} \] \[ \cos^2 \beta = \frac{169 - 144}{169} = \frac{25}{169} \] 6. **Substitute into the cosine relationship**: Now substitute \( \cos^2 \alpha \) and \( \cos^2 \beta \) into the equation: \[ \frac{2079}{4225} + \frac{25}{169} + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \] 7. **Find a common denominator**: The common denominator for \( 4225 \) and \( 169 \) is \( 4225 \times 169 \). Convert each term: \[ \frac{2079 \cdot 169}{4225 \cdot 169} + \frac{25 \cdot 4225}{169 \cdot 4225} + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \] \[ \frac{351171 + 105625}{4225 \cdot 169} + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \] \[ \frac{456796}{4225 \cdot 169} + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \] 8. **Solve for \( \cos^2 \gamma \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ \cos^2 \gamma = 1 - \frac{456796}{4225 \cdot 169} \] To simplify, calculate \( 1 \) in terms of the common denominator: \[ \cos^2 \gamma = \frac{4225 \cdot 169 - 456796}{4225 \cdot 169} \] 9. **Calculate the numerator**: Calculate \( 4225 \cdot 169 \): \[ 4225 \cdot 169 = 714425 \] Now calculate \( 714425 - 456796 = 257629 \): \[ \cos^2 \gamma = \frac{257629}{714425} \] 10. **Find \( \sin^2 \gamma \)**: Since \( \sin^2 \gamma + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \): \[ \sin^2 \gamma = 1 - \cos^2 \gamma = 1 - \frac{257629}{714425} = \frac{714425 - 257629}{714425} = \frac{456796}{714425} \] 11. **Calculate \( \sin \gamma \)**: Taking the square root gives: \[ \sin \gamma = \sqrt{\frac{456796}{714425}} = \frac{\sqrt{456796}}{\sqrt{714425}} \] 12. **Final simplification**: Calculate the square roots: \[ \sin \gamma = \frac{676}{845} = \frac{4}{5} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the sine ratio of the angle that the vector makes with the Z-axis is: \[ \sin \gamma = \frac{4}{5} \]
