The direction ratios of a line are 2, 6, -9. What are its direction cosines?
Given : A line has direction ratios 2, 6 , -9
To find : Direction cosines of the line
Formula used : If (l,m,n) are the direction ratios of a given line then direction cosines are given by ,
,
Here l = 2 , m = 6 , n = -9
Direction cosines of the line with direction ratios 2, 6 , -9 is
