Solution:

If the length of the line segment $O P = r$ and direction cosines of $\bar{O P}$ are $〈l, m, n〉$ then the coordinates of the point $P (l r, m r, n r)$

Here, $(l, m, n) = (\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{10}, \frac{4 \sqrt{2}}{10}, \frac{5 \sqrt{2}}{10})$ and $r = 10 \sqrt{2}$

Therefore, the coordinates of the point $P$ are as below.

Here , $P (\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{10} \cdot 10 \sqrt{2}, \frac{4 \sqrt{2}}{10} \cdot 10 \sqrt{2}, \frac{5 \sqrt{2}}{10} \cdot 10 \sqrt{2}) = (6, 8, 10)$

If $O P = 10 \sqrt{2}$ and direction cosines of $\vec{O P}$ are $(\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{10}, \frac{4 \sqrt{2}}{10}, \frac{5 \sqrt{2}}{10})$ , then
