A basketball gymnasium is 25 meters high, 80 meters wide and 200 meters long. We want to connect two strings, one from each of t

he two corners above one basket to the diagonally opposite corners of the gym floor. (a) Find the center of the gymnasium? (b) What is the length of the strings? (c) (What angle is formed by the strings as they cross?

Answer:

a) the centre is at (12.5 m, 40 m , 100 m ) with respect to our position

b) the length of the strings S will be 216.85 m

c) the angle that is formed by the strings is  1.23 rad

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that we stand on one of the corners on the floor , so our coordinates are (0,0,0)  , then the coordinates of the center of the gymnasium   are found through

x center = (25 + 0)/2 = 12.5 m

y center = (80+ 0)/2 = 40 m

z center = (200+ 0)/2 = 100 m

then the centre is at (12.5 m, 40 m , 100 m ) with respect to our position

b) the length of the strings S will be the modulus of the vector that points from our position to the diagonally opposite corners

|S| = √(25²+80²+200²) = 216.85 m

c) the angle can be found through the dot product of the vectors that represent the strings S₁ and S₂

S₁ =(25,80,10)

S₂ =(-25,80,100)

then

S₁*S₂ = 25*(-25) +80*80 + 100*100 = 15775

but also

S₁*S₂ = |S₁||S₂| cos θ = |S|² * cos θ

S₁*S₂ =  |S|² * cos θ

cos θ= S₁*S₂/|S|²

θ= cos ⁻¹ ( S₁*S₂/|S|² ) = cos ⁻¹ [15775/(25²+80²+200²)] = 1.23 rad
