The diagram shows a prism ABCDPQRS with a horizontal square base APSD with sides of length 6 cm. The cross-section ABCD is a trapezium and is such that the vertical edges AB and DC are of lengths 5 cm and 2 cm respectively. Unit vectors i, j and k are parallel to AD, AP and AB respectively.
(i) Express each of the vectors \(\overrightarrow{CP}\) and \(\overrightarrow{CQ}\) in terms of i, j and k.
(ii) Use a scalar product to calculate angle PCQ.
