Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are represented by $\vec{AB} = 2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 11\hat{k}$ and $\vec{AD} = -\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$. The side $\vec{AD}$ is rotated by an acute angle $\theta$ in the plane of the parallelogram such that $\vec{AD}$ becomes $\vec{AD'}$. If $\vec{AD'}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{AB}$,find $\cos \theta$.
