Mark (√) against the correct answer in each of the following:

If a vector makes angle α, β and γ with the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis respectively then the value of (sin2α + sin2β + sin2γ) is


Given - A vector makes angle α, β and γ with the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis respectively.


To Find - (sin2α + sin2β + sin2γ)


Formula to be used - cos2α + cos2β + cos2γ=1


Hence,


sin2α + sin2β + sin2γ


=(1-cos2α) +(1-cos2β) +(1-cos2γ)


= 3–(cos2α + cos2β + cos2γ)


=3-1


=2
