    Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram ABCD are given by AB‾=2i^+10j^+11k^\overline{AB} = 2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 11\hat{k} and AD‾=−i^+2j^+2k^\overline{AD} = -\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}. The side ADAD is rotated by an acute angle α\alpha in the plane of the parallelogram so that ADAD becomes AD′AD'. If AD′AD' makes a right angle with the side ABAB, then the cosine of the angle α\alpha is...
