DIRECTION COSINES & RATIOS (7 MARKS ) ANGLE BETWEEN TWO LINES: The angle between two skew lines is the angle between two lines drawn parallel to them through any point in space.
DIRECTION COSINES If , , are the angles made by a directed line segment with the positive directions of the coordinate axes respectively, then cos a, cos b, cos g are called the direction cosines of the given line and they are denoted by l, m, n respectively Thus l = cos , m = cos , n = cos
If l, m, n are the d.cs of a line L is one direction then the d.cs of the same line in the opposite direction are l, m, n. Note : The angles , , are known as the direction angles and satisfy the condition 0 , , . Note : The sum of the angles , , is not equal to 2p because they do not lie in the same plane.
