At the base of the pyramid lies a right-angled triangle with a hypotenuse equal to C and an acute angle of 30 °.
At the base of the pyramid lies a right-angled triangle with a hypotenuse equal to C and an acute angle of 30 °. The side edges of the pyramid are inclined to the base plane at an angle of 45 °. Find the volume of the pyramid.
АС = с, ∠АСВ = 30 °, ∠ОАС = 45 °, the vertex point O has a projection at point K in the middle of the hypotenuse AC.
V = 1/3 * S main * h.
In triangle ABC:
S main = 1/2 * AB * BC,
AB = AC * sin30 ° = s * 1/2,
BC = AC * sin (90 ° – 30 °) = s * √3 / 2,
S main = 1/2 * AB * BC = 1/2 * s * 1/2 * s * √3 / 2.
At AOK:
AK = AC / 2 = s / 2,
∠AKO = 90 °,
∠ОАС = ∠АС = 45 °,
n = OK,
OK = AO * sin 45 ° = AO * 1 / √2,
AO = AK / sin 45 ° = s / 2 * √2,
h = OK = s / 2 * √2 * 1 / √2,
V = 1/3 * 1/2 * s * 1/2 * s * √3 / 2 * s / 2 * √2 * 1 / √2 = √3s3 / 48.
