Q1: To find the distance from B to H, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem.

Let x be the distance from B to H.
In triangle BHE,
BH = x
BE = BF + EF = 6 + 5 = 11

Using Pythagoras theorem,
x^2 + 8^2 = 11^2
x^2 + 64 = 121
x^2 = 121 - 64
x^2 = 57
x = √57

So, the distance from B to H is √57 centimeters.

Q2: To find the angle BHF, we will use the cosine rule.

In triangle BHF,
BH = √57
BF = 6
HF = 8

Using the cosine rule,
cos(BHF) = (6^2 + 8^2 - √57^2) / 2 * 6 * 8
cos(BHF) = (36 + 64 - 57) / 96
cos(BHF) = 43 / 96
BHF = cos^(-1)(43 / 96)

Therefore, the size of angle BHF is approximately 61.25 degrees.

Q3: To find the angle between the space diagonal BH and the plane BFGC, we can use the dot product of BH and a vector perpendicular to the plane.

The space diagonal BH is given by √57.
The normal vector to the plane BFGC can be found by the cross product of vectors BF and FG.

BF = 6i
FG = 8j
Normal vector N = BF x FG
N = 6i x 8j
N = 48k

The angle between BH and the plane is given by the formula:
cos(angle) = BH . N / (|BH| * |N|)
cos(angle) = √57 * 48 / (√57 * 48)
angle = cos^(-1)(1)

Therefore, the size of the angle between the space diagonal BH and the plane BFGC is 0 degrees.
