Question

if (l1,m1,n1),(l2,m2,n2),(l3,m3,n3) are the direction cosines of three mutual perpendicular lines,show that the line whose direction ratios area l1+l2+l3,m1+m2+m3,n1+n2+n3 make equal angles with them

Answer 1

Because the first three lines are mutually perpendicular, dot products of pairs of lines are zero.
l1*l2+m1*m2+n1*n2 = 0
l2*l3+m2*m3+n2*n3 = 0
l1*l3+m1*m3+n1*n3 = 0

Finally, using the above equations, and another dot product, show that the cosine of the angle between the fourth vector and any of the first three vectors is the same.

Answer 2

listen to me dear.solve these six equations.l1l2+m1m2+n1n2=0,l2l3+m2m3+n2n3=0and l1l3+m1m3+n1n3=0...with these solve theselil2+m1m2+n1n2=l2l3+m2m3+n2n3=l1l3+m1m3+n1n3

Answer 3

hi good answers boys,all are correct
