In a straight parallelepiped, the side edge is 2 m, the sides of the base are 11 dm
In a straight parallelepiped, the side edge is 2 m, the sides of the base are 11 dm, and the diagonals of the base are 2: 3. Find the areas of the diagonal sections.
Since at the base of a parallelepiped lies a parallelogram, the sum of the lengths of the squares of its diagonals is equal to the sum of the lengths of the squares of its sides.
Let the diagonal BD = 2 * X dm, then AC = 3 * X dm.
(2 * X) ^ 2 + (3 * X) ^ 2 = 2 * (AB ^ 2 + AD ^ 2).
4 * X ^ 2 + 9 * X ^ 2 = 2 * (121 + 529).
13 * X ^ 2 = 1300.
X ^ 2 = 100.
X = 10.
Then BD = 2 * 10 = 20 dm = 2 m.
AC = 3 * 10 = 30 dm = 3 m.
Diagonal sections are rectangles AA1C1C and BB1D1D.
Sаа1с1с = АС * АА1 = 3 * 2 = 6 m2.
Svv1d1d = BD * BB1 = 2 * 2 = 4 m2.
Answer: The area of the diagonal section is 4 m2 and 6 m2.
