Let the vector be $\vec{r}$. Let $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$ be the angles made by the vector $\vec{r}$ with the positive x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, respectively.
Given, $\alpha = \frac{\pi}{4}$ and $\beta = \frac{\pi}{4}$. We need to find $\gamma$.
We know that the sum of the squares of the direction cosines is equal to 1, i.e.,
$\cos^2{\alpha} + \cos^2{\beta} + \cos^2{\gamma} = 1$
Substituting the given values, we have:
$\cos^2{\frac{\pi}{4}} + \cos^2{\frac{\pi}{4}} + \cos^2{\gamma} = 1$
$(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2 + (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2 + \cos^2{\gamma} = 1$
$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \cos^2{\gamma} = 1$
$1 + \cos^2{\gamma} = 1$
$\cos^2{\gamma} = 0$
$\cos{\gamma} = 0$
Therefore, $\gamma = \frac{\pi}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\pi}{2}$
