In parallelogram ABCD, AB = 20cm. angle BAD = 45. BM is perpendicular to the ABC plane.

In parallelogram ABCD, AB = 20cm. angle BAD = 45. BM is perpendicular to the ABC plane. The angle between straight line MA and plane ABC = 60. Find the distance from M to ABC

Since, by condition, ВM is perpendicular to the plane ABC, then triangle ABM is rectangular.

Determine the value of the angle AMB. Angle AMB = (180 – 90 – 60) = 30, then the leg AB is located opposite the angle 300, which means AM = 2 * AB = 2 * 20 = 40 cm.

By the Pythagorean theorem, we determine the length of the leg BM.

BM ^ 2 = AM ^ 2 – AB ^ 2 = 1600 – 400 = 120.

ВM = √1200 = 20 * √3 cm.

Answer: From point M to plane 20 * √3 cm.
