Coordinate planes and the planes \(\pi_1, \pi_2, \pi_3\) which are respectively parallel to \(\mathrm{YZ}, \mathrm{ZX}, \mathrm{XY}\) planes at distances \(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}\), form a rectangular parallelpiped, \(\mathrm{d}_1\) is a diagonal of the face on \(\mathrm{XY}\)-plane not passing through origin and \(\mathrm{d}_2\) is diagonal of plane \(\pi_2\) coterminous with \(\mathrm{d}_1\). If none of the coordinates of the vertices of the parallelpiped are negative and angle between \(\mathrm{d}_1\) and \(\mathrm{d}_2\) is \(\theta\), then \(\cos \theta=\)
