The question, in short

Using the cuboid with CG = 13 cm, GH = 18 cm and EH = 20 cm, work out the angle that the line EC makes with the face ABFE.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1The required angle is angle CEB (CB is perpendicular to face ABFE)
  2. 2BE = √(13² + 18²) = √493 = 22.20…
  3. 3tan CEB = 20 ÷ 22.20…
  4. 4Angle CEB = 42.0°

Answer42.0 or 42.01 to 42.02
