A hall has a square floor of dimension 10 m×10 m (see the figure) and vertical walls. If the angle GPH between the diagonals AG and BH is cos-115, then the height of the hall (in meters) is:

  1. 52
  2. 53
  3. 510
  4. 5

Solution

AG=10i^+hj^+10k^

BH=-10i^+hj^+10k^

cosθ=-100+h2+100200+h22

15=h2200+h2

200=4 h2

h2=50

h=52
