Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \cos^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \beta + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \) \( \cos^2 60^{\circ} + \cos^2 45^{\circ} + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \) \( \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \) \( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \)…
