Answers (1)

Answer:

30^{\circ}

Hint:

\cos ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta+\cos ^{2} \gamma=1

Given:

Lines makes 90^{\circ} and 60^{\circ} with x-axis and y-axis.

Solution:

Here

\alpha =90^{\circ}

\beta =60^{\circ}

We know that

\begin{aligned} &\cos ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta+\cos ^{2} \gamma=1 \\ &\Rightarrow \cos ^{2} 90^{\circ}+\cos ^{2} 60^{\circ}+\cos ^{2} \gamma=1 \\ &\Rightarrow 0+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}+\cos ^{2} \gamma=1 \\ &\Rightarrow \cos ^{2} \gamma=1-\frac{1}{4} \\ &=\frac{3}{4} \\ &\cos \gamma=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \mid \\ &\gamma=30^{\circ} \end{aligned}
