In the rectangular parallelepiped ABCDA1B1C1D1, the lengths of the ribs are known
In the rectangular parallelepiped ABCDA1B1C1D1, the lengths of the ribs are known: AB = 12, AD = 16, CC1 = 9. find the angle between planes BDD1 and AB1D1.
Section BDD1 is a diagonal section BB1D1D, and section AB1D1 is a triangle AB1D1.
The sections have a common side B1D1.
From point A, draw a perpendicular to the diagonal B1D1. The projection of the segment AH1 onto the base is the segment AH, which is the height of the right-angled triangle ABD.
The angle AH1H is our desired angle.
Determine the area of the triangle ABD.
Savd = AB * AD / 2 = 12 * 16/2 = 96 cm2.
Let us define, by the Pythagorean theorem, the diagonal ВD.
BD ^ 2 = AD ^ 2 + AB ^ 2 = 256 + 144 = 400.
ВD = 20 cm.
Then Savd = 96 = AH * BD / 2.
AH = 96 * 2/20 = 9.6 cm.
The length of the segment НН1 = CC1 = 9 cm.
Then tgAH1H = AH / HH1 = 9.6 / 9 = 1.07.
Then the angle AH1H = arctg1.07 ≈ 47.
Answer: The angle between the planes is 47.
