Write each of the vectors $\overrightarrow{AM}$ and $\overrightarrow{GM}$ in terms of $\mathbf{i}$, $\mathbf{j}$ and $\mathbf{k}$.
Use a scalar product to calculate angle $GMA$ to the nearest degree.
This 7-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: “The correct vectors are $\vec{AM} = 1.5\mathbf{i}+4\mathbf{j}+5\mathbf{k}$ and $\vec{GM}=6.5\mathbf{i}-4\mathbf{j}-5\mathbf{k}$” …
