The angle between the lines whose direction cosines are ( 3 4 , 1 4 , 3 2 ) and ( 3 4 , 1 4 , - 3 2 ) , is
Options
- A2
- B3
- C4
Correct answer
C. 4
Step-by-step solution
Given that, l₁= 3 4 , m₁= 1 4 and n₁= 3 2 and l₂= 3 4 , m₂= 1 4 and n₂= - 3 2 aligned & = |l₁ l₂+m₁ m₂+n₁ n₂ | & = | 3 4 3 4 + 1 4 1 4 + 3 2 ( - 3 2 ) | & = | 3 16 + 1 16 - 3 4 |= |- 2 4 |= 1 2 & = 3 aligned
