2nd PUC Maths Three Dimensional Geometry NCERT Text Book Questions and Answers Ex 11.1

Question 1.
If a line makes angles 90°, 135°, 45° with the x, y and z-axes respectively, find its direction cosines.
Answer:
Dc’s are cos α, cos β and cos γ
cos 90°, cos 135°, cos 45°
\(\left(0, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)

Question 2.
Find the direction cosines of a line which makes equal angles with the coordinate axes.
Answer:
Let the angle be α,α,α
Direction cosines are cos α, cos α , cos α
but cos² α + cos² β² + cos² γ = 1
cos² α + cos² α+ cos² α = 1 ⇒ 3cos² α= 1

Question 3.
If a line has the direction ratios -18, 12, – 4, then what are its direction cosines ?
Answer:
a : b : c = -18 : 12 : -4
let l₁, m₁, n are the dc’s

Question 4.
Show that the points (2, 3, 4), (- 1, – 2, 1), (5, 8, 7) are collinear.
Answer:
Let A (2, 3, 4), B (-1, -2, 1) C (5, 8, 7)
Directions of AB = (-1 -2, -2 -3, +1, – 4) =(-3, -5, -3)
Dr’s of AC = (5-2, 8-3, 7-4) = (3, 5, 3)
Dr’ of AB and AC are proportional.
Hence AB and AC are parallel. But A is common
∴ points A, B, C are collinear

Question 5.
Find the direction cosines of the sides of the triangle whose vertices are
(3, 5, – 4), (- 1, 1, 2) and (- 5, – 5, – 2).
Answer:
Let (3,5, -4), B (-1,1,2) and C (-5, -5, -2) Dr’ of
AB = (-4, -4, 6), Dc’s AB =
