Q.

The projection of a line on the axes are 2, 3, 6 then the length of line is

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Let the length of the line is r and direction cosine of the line are l, m, n
∴ r cosα = 2 = rl; rcosβ = 3 = rm; rcosγ = 6 = rm
∴ (rl)2 + (rm)2 + (m)2 = 22 + 32 + 62
Or r2 (l2 + m2 + n2 ) = 49
∴ r = 7
