1. **Problem statement:**
Find the length DV, angle VDP, length VX (X midpoint of CD), angle VXP, and the vertical height of the smaller pyramid VEFGH given its volume 24 cm³.
2. **Step (c) Find length DV:**
Assuming coordinates or given lengths are known from the diagram (not provided here), use the distance formula or given data.
3. **Step (d) Find angle VDP:**
Use the cosine rule or vector dot product formula:
$$\cos(\angle VDP) = \frac{\overrightarrow{DV} \cdot \overrightarrow{DP}}{|DV||DP|}$$
Calculate the vectors and their magnitudes, then find the angle by:
$$\angle VDP = \cos^{-1}(\text{value})$$
4. **Step (e)(i) Find length VX:**
Since X is midpoint of CD,
$$VX = \frac{1}{2} VD$$
if V, D, C are collinear or use distance formula accordingly.
5. **Step (e)(ii) Find angle VXP:**
Use cosine rule or vector dot product similarly:
$$\cos(\angle VXP) = \frac{\overrightarrow{VX} \cdot \overrightarrow{XP}}{|VX||XP|}$$
Then,
$$\angle VXP = \cos^{-1}(\text{value})$$
6. **Step (f) Find vertical height of smaller pyramid VEFGH:**
Volume ratio of similar pyramids is the cube of the scale factor of their heights:
$$\frac{V_{VEFGH}}{V_{VABCD}} = \left(\frac{h_{VEFGH}}{h_{VABCD}}\right)^3$$
Given:
$$V_{VEFGH} = 24$$
Assuming volume of original pyramid $V_{VABCD}$ and height $h_{VABCD}$ are known,
Solve for $h_{VEFGH}$:
$$h_{VEFGH} = h_{VABCD} \times \sqrt[3]{\frac{24}{V_{VABCD}}}$$
**Final answers depend on given original pyramid dimensions and volume, which are not provided here.**
