Exercise 1. Let S.ABCD be a pyramid whose base ABCD is a square, AB = a, SAL
(ABCD) and SA = 2a. Calculate the distance d (C, (SBD).
Exercise 2. Given a pyramid S.ABC. Let M be a point belonging to the interior of the
triangle ABC. One constructs three straight lines passing through M, being respectively
parallel to SA, SB, SC and intersecting the planes (SBC), (SAC), (SAB) at A’, B' g,
Prove that when M moves on the interior of the triangle ABC, the sum M44-4965- 4 456°
is constant.
Exercise 3. Let SABC be a trirectangular tetrahedron with right angle at S and SA =a
SB =b, SC =c. Let A,B,C be respectively the measures of three angles of the triangle
ABC. Prove that
tanA = btanB = ctanC
Exercise 4. Given a cube ABCD.A'B'C'D' with lower base ABCD and side length a.
Let M,N be respectively the midpoints of the sides A’B’ and BC. The plane (DMN)
divides the cube into two parts. Let Vi be the volume of the first. part that contains the
point A and Vz be the volume of the second part. Calculate the ratio $
Exercise 5. Let $.ABCD be a pyramid whose base ABCD is a parallelogram and O
is the point of intersection of its diagonals. Assume that AB = 2a, AD = 2aV3 and
SA = SB = SC = SD = 3a. Let M be the midpoint of the segment OC. Calculate the
volume of the pyramid S.ABMD.
‘Exercise 6. Let ZxOy be an acute angle. The point M is within the interior of the
angle ZxOy. Let A, B be two points moving on two rays Ox and Oy, respectively, such
304A = 4OB. Find the position of the points A,B such that 3MA + 4MB achieves its
minimum value.
