Question

Given : ABCD is a rectangle
m∠B1DB = 60°, m∠ADB = 45°
DB1=37
Find: Volume

Answer 1

Explanation:

∠B₁DB = 60°

△B₁BD is a 30°-60°-90° triangle. The sides are in the ratio 1:√3:2

B₁D = 37 ⇒ BD = 37/2 = 18.5

BB₁ = 18.5√3

△ABD is isosceles

AB = AD = BD/√2 = 18.5/√2

volume = AB × AD × BB₁

= (18.5/√2) × (18.5/√2) × 18.5√3

= 18.5³√3/2

≅ 5483 cubic units
