Hi,

How can you find the following angle:
It is a prism with rectangular base, ABFE.

Calculate the angle between the diagonal AG and the base ABFE. (I drew the diagonal).

Now, why is the answer as follows:
-->Draw perpendicular from G onto EF, call point of intersection x, then calculate GX.

Connect A to x -->Then find AX (By finding EX and using pythagoras with AE).

Then use tan......

My question:
Why did he connect to "x" and not "f"?
