Detailed Solution

Let the length of the line segment be  r and its direction cosines be l,m,n. Then, its projections on the coordinate axes are lr, mr, nr.

                              lr=2,mr=3 and nr=6

              l2r2+m2r2+n2r2=4+9+36

             r2l2+m2+n2=49

             r2=49  r=7                 l2+m2+n2=1
