1. **Problem Statement:**
We have a rectangular prism with vertices D, A, B, C, E, F, G, H, and a point J on edge EF dividing it in ratio 2:1.
Given dimensions: DH = 55 mm, HG = 90 mm, FG = 40 mm.
Find:
(a) Length HJ
(b) Length DJ
(c) Angle HDJ
(d) Angle between DJ and plane EFGH
2. **Set up coordinate system:**
Place point H at origin $(0,0,0)$.
Since HG = 90 mm along x-axis, G is at $(90,0,0)$.
Since FG = 40 mm along z-axis, F is at $(90,0,40)$.
Since DH = 55 mm along y-axis, D is at $(0,55,0)$.
E is vertically above F along y-axis, so E is at $(90,55,40)$.
3. **Find coordinates of J:**
J divides EF in ratio 2:1, so $J = E + \frac{2}{3}(F - E)$.
Calculate:
$$F - E = (90,0,40) - (90,55,40) = (0,-55,0)$$
$$J = (90,55,40) + \frac{2}{3}(0,-55,0) = (90,55 - \frac{110}{3},40) = (90,\frac{55}{3},40)$$
4. **Calculate length HJ:**
$$HJ = \sqrt{(90-0)^2 + \left(\frac{55}{3} - 0\right)^2 + (40-0)^2}$$
$$= \sqrt{90^2 + \left(\frac{55}{3}\right)^2 + 40^2} = \sqrt{8100 + \frac{3025}{9} + 1600}$$
$$= \sqrt{8100 + 336.11 + 1600} = \sqrt{10036.11} \approx 100.18\text{ mm}$$
5. **Calculate length DJ:**
Coordinates of D: $(0,55,0)$
$$DJ = \sqrt{(90-0)^2 + \left(\frac{55}{3} - 55\right)^2 + (40-0)^2}$$
$$= \sqrt{90^2 + \left(-\frac{110}{3}\right)^2 + 40^2} = \sqrt{8100 + \frac{12100}{9} + 1600}$$
$$= \sqrt{8100 + 1344.44 + 1600} = \sqrt{11044.44} \approx 105.08\text{ mm}$$
6. **Calculate angle HDJ:**
Vectors:
$$\overrightarrow{DH} = H - D = (0-0,0-55,0-0) = (0,-55,0)$$
$$\overrightarrow{DJ} = J - D = (90-0, \frac{55}{3} - 55, 40-0) = (90, -\frac{110}{3}, 40)$$
Dot product:
$$\overrightarrow{DH} \cdot \overrightarrow{DJ} = 0 \times 90 + (-55) \times \left(-\frac{110}{3}\right) + 0 \times 40 = \frac{6050}{3}$$
Magnitudes:
$$|\overrightarrow{DH}| = 55$$
$$|\overrightarrow{DJ}| = 105.08$$
Angle:
$$\cos \theta = \frac{\overrightarrow{DH} \cdot \overrightarrow{DJ}}{|\overrightarrow{DH}||\overrightarrow{DJ}|} = \frac{\frac{6050}{3}}{55 \times 105.08} = \frac{2016.67}{5779.4} \approx 0.349$$
$$\theta = \cos^{-1}(0.349) \approx 69.56^\circ$$
7. **Calculate angle between DJ and plane EFGH:**
Plane EFGH is parallel to xz-plane at y=constant.
Normal vector to plane EFGH is along y-axis: $\vec{n} = (0,1,0)$.
Vector $\overrightarrow{DJ} = (90, -\frac{110}{3}, 40)$.
Angle $\phi$ between $\overrightarrow{DJ}$ and plane is complementary to angle between $\overrightarrow{DJ}$ and normal:
$$\cos \alpha = \frac{|\overrightarrow{DJ} \cdot \vec{n}|}{|\overrightarrow{DJ}||\vec{n}|} = \frac{|-\frac{110}{3}|}{105.08 \times 1} = \frac{36.67}{105.08} \approx 0.349$$
$$\alpha = \cos^{-1}(0.349) = 69.56^\circ$$
Angle between $\overrightarrow{DJ}$ and plane:
$$\phi = 90^\circ - 69.56^\circ = 20.44^\circ$$
**Final answers:**
(a) $HJ \approx 100.18$ mm
(b) $DJ \approx 105.08$ mm
(c) $\angle HDJ \approx 69.56^\circ$
(d) Angle between $DJ$ and plane $EFGH \approx 20.44^\circ$
