To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \cos \gamma \), where \( \gamma \) is the angle made by the line with the z-axis. The line makes angles of \( 60^\circ \) with the x-axis and \( 135^\circ \) with the y-axis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between angles and cosines**: The angles made by a line with the x, y, and z axes are related through the equation: \[ \cos^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \beta + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 ...
