If \(\alpha\) is the angle between any two diagonals of a cube and \(\beta\) is the angle between a diagonal of a cube and a diagonal of its face, which intersects this diagonal of the cube then \(\cos \alpha+\cos ^2 \beta=\)

  1. A \(\frac{5}{9}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{9}\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \cos \alpha = \frac{(L,L,L) \cdot (-L,L,L)}{|(L,L,L)| |(-L,L,L)|} = \frac{L^2}{3L^2} = \frac{1}{3} \) \( \cos \beta = \frac{(L,L,L) \cdot (L,L,0)}{|(L,L,L)| |(L,L,0)|} = \frac{2L^2}{(L\sqrt{3})(L\sqrt{2})} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \)…
