Given  \alpha =90^{\circ},\beta =135^{\circ},\gamma =45^{\circ}

So, Direction cosines are    \alpha                  \beta                  \gamma           

                                         (\cos90^{\circ},\, \cos 135^{\circ},\, \cos 145^{\circ})

\cos 90=0,\, \cos 135=\cos(180-45)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\, \cos 45=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

\Rightarrow \left ( 0,\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right )
