CBSE Class 12 Maths Notes Chapter 11 Three Dimensional Geometry Direction Cosines of a Line: If the directed line OP makes angles α, β, and γ with positive X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis respectively, then cos α, cos β, and cos γ, are called direction cosines of a line. They are denoted by l, m, and n. Therefore, l = cos α, m = cos β and n = cos γ. Also, sum of squares of direction … [Read more...]
