Let $\theta$ denote the angle between vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$. If $\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}$,$\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=4$ and $\theta=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{21}\right)$,then $\vec{a}+\vec{b}$ is:

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram $ABCD$ are given by $\overrightarrow{AB} = 2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 11\hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{AD} = -\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$. The side $AD$ is rotated by an acute angle $\alpha$ in the plane of the parallelogram so that $AD$ becomes $AD'$. If $AD'$ makes a right angle with the side $AB$,then the cosine of the angle $\alpha$ is given by
