202301060914 Solution to 1992-CE-AMATH-II-7

In the figure, VABCD is a right pyramid with a square base of side 6\,\mathrm{cm}. VB=9\,\mathrm{cm}.

Find, correct to the nearest 0.1 degree,
(a) the angle between edge VB and the base ABCD,
(b) the angle between the planes VAB and VAD.


Roughwork.

(a)

Applying the law of cosines,

\begin{aligned} \cos \angle VBD & =\frac{DB^2+VB^2-VD^2}{2(DB)(VB)} \\ & = \frac{(6\sqrt{2})^2+(9)^2-(9)^2}{2(6\sqrt{2})(9)} \\ \angle VBD & = \dots \\ \end{aligned}

(b)

Similarly,

\angle BED=\dots

This problem is not to be attempted.
