Expert Solution
Step 1 Formula used

Consider a vector,

r = rx i^ +ry j^ +rz k^

The magnitude of the vector can be calculated as:

r = rx2 + ry2 + rz2

The angle α between the vector r and the positive x-axis is given by,

α = cos-1rxr

The angle β between the vector r and the positive y-axis is given by,

β = cos-1ryr

The angle γ between the vector r and the positive z-axis is given by,

α = cos-1rzr
