Mathematics Question on Three Dimensional Geometry

If a line makes angles 60?, 45?, 45? and θ\theta with the four diagonals of a cube then sin2θ=sin^2 \, \theta =

A

112\frac{1}{12}

B

1112\frac{11}{12}

C

1112\sqrt{\frac{11}{12}}

D

3112\frac{31}{12}

Answer

1112\frac{11}{12}

Explanation

Solution

Use cos2α+cos2β+cos2γ+cos2δ=43\cos^2 \, \alpha + \cos^2 \beta + \cos^2 \, \gamma + \cos^2 \, \delta = \frac{4}{3} where α=60?,β=45?,γ=45? \alpha = 60?,\beta = 45?,\gamma = 45?
