Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given points A(2, 3, 4) and B(5, 6, 7), derive the direction cosines and ratios, then find the angle they create with each axis.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the differences firstβ€”this will lead you to your direction cosines.

Question 2

If a line has a direction ratio of (3, 4, 0), calculate the angle it makes with the X and Y axes.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember that angles can be found with the cosine of the direction cosine values.
