A hall has a square floor of dimension (see the figure) and vertical walls. If the angle GPH between diagonals AG and BH is , then the height of the hall (in meters) is:
  1. (A)5
  2. (B)
  3. (C)
  4. (D)✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Place at the origin with the two floor edges and along the horizontal axes and the height along the vertical, so that stand directly above respectively. With ,

and these two space diagonals cross at , so the angle is the angle between them:

Setting this equal to gives , so and the height of the hall is m.
