The diagram shows a three-dimensional shape in which the base OABC and the upper surface DEFG are identical horizontal squares. The parallelograms OAED and CBFG both lie in vertical planes. The point M is the mid-point of AF.
Unit vectors i and j are parallel to OA and OC respectively and the unit vector k is vertically upwards. The position vectors of A and D are given by \(\overrightarrow{OA} = 8\mathbf{i}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OD} = 3\mathbf{i} + 10\mathbf{k}\).
(i) Express each of the vectors \(\overrightarrow{AM}\) and \(\overrightarrow{GM}\) in terms of i, j and k. [3]
(ii) Use a scalar product to find angle GMA correct to the nearest degree. [4]
