Direction Cosines

Author:: Jing Jie

Topic:: Cosine, Vectors

This worksheet allows you to explore the direction cosines in vectors. By setting v₃ as 0, you can observe how the angles of the direction cosines look in 2D on the left. Then as v₃ changes, you can observe how the angles changes in 3D on the right.
