The diagram shows a pyramid OABCP in which the horizontal base OABC is a square of side 10 cm and the vertex P is 10 cm vertically above O. The points D, E, F, G lie on OP, AP, BP, CP respectively and DEFG is a horizontal square of side 6 cm. The height of DEFG above the base is a cm. Unit vectors i, j and k are parallel to OA, OC and OD respectively.
- Show that a = 4.
- Express the vector \(\overrightarrow{BG}\) in terms of i, j and k.
- Use a scalar product to find angle GBA.
