Area of $\triangle PQS = \frac{1}{2} \times PQ \times QS \times \sin \angle PQS$

First find $\angle PQS$ using sine rule:
$\frac{\sin \angle PQS}{PR} = \frac{\sin \angle QPR}{QR}$
$\frac{\sin \angle PQS}{150} = \frac{\sin 68^\circ}{153}$
$\sin \angle PQS = \frac{150 \times \sin 68^\circ}{153} = \frac{150 \times 0.9271...}{153} = 0.9092...$
$\angle PQS = 65.4^\circ$

$4172 = \frac{1}{2} \times 120 \times QS \times \sin 65.4^\circ$
$4172 = 60 \times QS \times 0.9092...$
$QS = \frac{4172}{60 \times 0.9092...} = \frac{4172}{54.55...} = 76.5$ m (3 s.f.) ✓ [3 marks]

20. (a) $AG$ is the space diagonal of the cuboid.
$AG^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 + CG^2$
$AG^2 = 8^2 + 6^2 + 5^2 = 64 + 36 + 25 = 125$
$AG = \sqrt{125} = 5\sqrt{5} \approx 11.2$ cm (3 s.f.) ✓ [2 marks]

(b) The angle between $AG$ and the base is $\angle GAC$ (or $\angle GAB$).
$AC$ is the diagonal of the base: $AC^2 = 8^2 + 6^2 = 64 + 36 = 100$, so $AC = 10$ cm.
$\tan \angle GAC = \frac{CG}{AC} = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5$
$\angle GAC = \tan^{-1}(0.5) = 26.6^\circ$ (1 d.p.) ✓ [3 marks]

(c) $M$ is the midpoint of $CG$, so $CM = 2.5$ cm.
$AC = 10$ cm (from above).
In right-angled $\triangle ACM$: $AM^2 = AC^2 + CM^2$
$AM^2 = 10^2 + 2.5^2 = 100 + 6.25 = 106.25$
$AM = \sqrt{106.25} = 10.3$ cm (3 s.f.) ✓ [3 marks]

(d) The angle between $AM$ and the base is $\angle MAC$.
$\tan \angle MAC = \frac{CM}{AC} = \frac{2.5}{10} = 0.25$
