22 The diagram shows a cuboid \(ABCDEFGH\) with horizontal base \(ADEH\)

Diagram NOT accurately drawn
\(AB = 8\) cm \(\qquad AD = 12\) cm \(\qquad DE = 20\) cm
\(M\) is the midpoint of the base \(ADEH\) and \(P\) is the midpoint of the edge \(CF\)
Work out the size of angle \(BMP\)
Give your answer correct to one decimal place.

| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| eg \(MP = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2}\;(= 10)\) | M1 |
| eg \(BM = \sqrt{\left(\sqrt{10^2 + 6^2}\right)^2 + 8^2}\;\left(= \sqrt{200} = 10\sqrt{2} = 14.1...\right)\) | M1 |
| eg \(BP = \sqrt{12^2 + 10^2}\;\left(= \sqrt{244} = 2\sqrt{61} = 15.6...\right)\) | M1 |
eg \(\text{``}{244}\text{''} = \text{``}{10}\text{''}^2 + \text{``}{200}\text{''} - 2 \times \text{``}{10}\text{''} \times \text{``}{\sqrt{200}}\text{''}\cos BMP\) or \(\cos BMP = \dfrac{\text{``}{10}\text{''}^2 + \text{``}{200}\text{''} - \text{``}{244}\text{''}}{2 \times \text{``}{10}\text{''} \times \text{``}{\sqrt{200}}\text{''}}\) oe | M1 |
| angle \(BMP = \cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{\text{``}{10}\text{''}^2 + \text{``}{200}\text{''} - \text{``}{244}\text{''}}{2 \times \text{``}{10}\text{''} \times \text{``}{\sqrt{200}}\text{''}}\right)\) oe | M1 |

Notes
M1: for a method to find \(MP\)
may be seen in subsequent working eg in the correct place in the cosine rule
10 seen without a correct method or without being identified as \(MP\) scores M0
M1: for a method to find \(BM\)
M1: for a method to find \(BP\)
M1: for correct substitution into the cosine rule
M1: for a complete correct method to find angle \(BMP\)
A1: accept 78.5 – 78.7
