Math Problem Statement

Визначте лінійний кут двогранного кута з ребром BC, якщо PA перпендикулярно (ABC) і кут C у трикутнику ABC дорівнює 90°.

Solution

The problem asks for the linear angle of the dihedral angle with edge BC, given that PA(ABC)PA \perp (ABC) and C\angle C in triangle ABCABC is 9090^\circ.

Here's how we approach the problem:

  1. Perpendicularity of PA to Plane ABC: Since PA(ABC)PA \perp (ABC), the line PAPA is perpendicular to the plane containing triangle ABCABC. This fact helps us determine that angles formed between PAPA and lines in the plane (such as BCBC) involve considering right angles.

  2. Right Triangle ABC: In triangle ABCABC, we know that ACB=90\angle ACB = 90^\circ. This implies that line BCBC is the hypotenuse of right triangle ABCABC.

  3. Dihedral Angle with Edge BC: The question asks for the linear angle associated with the dihedral angle between two planes, one of which has the edge BC as its common line. The other plane involved should likely be formed by the line PAPA, which is perpendicular to the plane ABCABC.

  4. Angle Calculation: Since PAPA is perpendicular to BCBC, the linear angle of the dihedral angle between the planes should involve the triangle ACPACP, where ACP\angle ACP would be relevant.

From the given choices, the correct answer would be ACP, as it captures the angle formed by the plane containing PAPA and the plane containing the triangle ABCABC, considering the edge BCBC.
