\(45^\circ\)
\(60^\circ\)
\(30^\circ\)
\(\tan^{-1}(2\sqrt{2})\)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1:
Direction vectors of diagonals are \((1,1,1)\) and \((1,-1,1)\).
Step 2:
\[ \cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow \theta=60^\circ \]
