A hall has a square floor of dimension \(10\, \mathrm{~m} \times 10\, \mathrm{~m}\) (see the figure) and vertical walls. If the angle \(GPH\) between the diagonals \(\mathrm{AG}\) and \(\mathrm{BH}\) is \(\cos ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}\), then the height of the hall (in \(meters\)) is :

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{10}\)
  3. C \(5 \sqrt{3}\)
  4. D \(5 \sqrt{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{A}(\hat{\mathrm{j}}) \cdot \mathrm{B}(10 \hat{\mathrm{i}})\) \(H(h\hat{\mathrm{j}}+10 \hat{\mathrm{k}})\) \(G(10 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\mathrm{h} \hat{\mathrm{j}}+10 \hat{\mathrm{k}})\) \(\overline{\mathrm{AG}}=10 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\mathrm{hj}+10 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\)…
