(B) Step $1$: Calculate the magnitudes of vectors $\vec{AB}$ and $\vec{AD}$.$|\vec{AB}| = \sqrt{2^2 + 10^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{4 + 100 + 121} = \sqrt{225} = 15$.$|\vec{AD}| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 2^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4 + 4} = \sqrt{9} = 3$.Step $2$: Find the angle $	heta$ between $\vec{AB}$ and $\vec{AD}$.$\vec{AB} \cdot \vec{AD} = (2)(-1) + (10)(2) + (11)(2) = -2 + 20 + 22 = 40$.$\cos 	heta = \frac{\vec{AB} \cdot \vec{AD}}{|\vec{AB}| |\vec{AD}|} = \frac{40}{15 	imes 3} = \frac{40}{45} = \frac{8}{9}$.Step $3$: Since $\vec{AD'}$ is obtained by rotating $\vec{AD}$ in the plane of the parallelogram such that $\vec{AD'} \perp \vec{AB}$, the angle between $\vec{AD'}$ and $\vec{AB}$ is $90^\circ$.Step $4$: The angle $\alpha$ is the angle of rotation, which is the difference between the original angle $	heta$ and the new angle $90^\circ$. Thus, $\alpha = |	heta - 90^\circ|$.$\cos \alpha = \cos(	heta - 90^\circ) = \sin 	heta$.Step $5$: Since $\cos 	heta = 8/9$, $\sin 	heta = \sqrt{1 - (8/9)^2} = \sqrt{1 - 64/81} = \sqrt{17/81} = \sqrt{17}/9$.
