Find the angle between the diagonal of the cube AC1 and the plane of the face ABCD.
August 8, 2021 | education
| Let the length of the edge of the cube be X cm.
We will construct the diagonal AC at the base of the cube and by the Pythagorean theorem, in the right-angled triangle ABC we will determine its length.
AC ^ 2 = AB ^ 2 + BC ^ 2 = X ^ 2 + X ^ 2 = 2 * X ^ 2.
AC = X * √2 cm.
Let’s construct a diagonal AC1.
The angle between the base plane and the AC1 diagonal is the linear angle CAC1.
In a right-angled triangle ACC1, tgCAC1 = CC1 / AC = X / X * √2 = √2 / 2.
Angle CAC1 = arctan (√2 / 2) ≈ 35.
Answer: The angle between the diagonal and the base plane is 35.
