Example 4 Find the direction cosines of x, y and z-axis.Direction cosines of a line making angle 𝛼 with x -axis, 𝛽 with y – axis and 𝛾 with z – axis are l, m, n l = cos 𝜶 , m = cos 𝜷 , n = cos 𝜸 x – axis x – axis makes an angle 0° with x – axis, 90° with y – axis & 90° with z – axis. So, 𝛼 = 0°, 𝛽 = 90°, 𝛾 = 90° l = cos 90°, m = cos 0°, n = cos 90° l = 0, m = 1, n = 0 ∴ Direction cosines of x – axis are 1, 0, 0 y – axis y – axis makes an angle 90° with x – axis, 0° with y – axis & 90° with z – axis. So, 𝛼 = 90°, 𝛽 = 0°, 𝛾 = 90° Direction cosines are l = cos 90°, m = cos 0° , n = cos 90° l = 0, m = 1, n = 0 ∴ Direction cosines of y – axis are 0, 1, 0 z – axis z – axis makes an angle 90° with x – axis, 90° with y – axis & 0° with z – axis. So, 𝛼 = 90°, 𝛽 = 90°, 𝛾 = 0° Direction cosines are l = cos 90°, m = cos 90°, n = cos 0° l = 0, m = 0, n = 1 ∴ Direction cosines of z – axis are 0, 0, 1.
