n=ℓ+mNow, ℓ2+m2=n2=(ℓ+m)2
⇒2ℓm=0
l2+m2+n2=1
If ℓ=0⇒2n2=1⇒n=±21
m=n=±21
And, If m=0⇒n=ℓ=±21
\therefore {l}^{2}+{m}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}&l+m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
⇒21+2lm=21
∴l=0,m=21 or l=21,m=0
So, direction cosines of two lines are
(0,21,21) and (21,0,21)
Thus,
∴cosα=0+0+21=21
⇒α=3π
∴sin4α+cos4α=1−21sin2(2α)=1−21⋅43=85
