← A line makes an angle of 45° with the x-axis and an angle of 45° with the y-axis. What angle does it make with the z-axis?
The figure shows a cube of edge 1 unit with a corner O at the origin. The red line is the body diagonal OG and the blue edge OA lies along the x-axis. What is the angle between OG and OA? →
