- 4A surveyor is measuring a rectangular warehouse ABCD (base) with EFGH directly above it (roof), where AB = 12 m, BC = 5 m, and the height AE = 6 m. A support cable runs from corner A (floor) to the diagonally opposite corner G (roof).(a)Find the length of the base diagonal AC, and hence find the length of the cable AG, giving both answers to 1 decimal place.[4 marks](b)Find the angle that the cable AG makes with the base of the warehouse (angle GAC), correct to 1 decimal place.[4 marks](c)Find the angle that the cable AG makes with the vertical edge AE (angle EAG), correct to 1 decimal place.[5 marks]
