In space, we consider a pyramid SABCE with square base ABCE with centre O. Let D be the point in space such that ( O ; $\overrightarrow { \mathrm { OA } } , \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OB } } , \overrightarrow { \mathrm { OD } }$ ) is an orthonormal frame. The point S has coordinates $( 0 ; 0 ; 3 )$ in this frame.
Part A
- Let U be the point on the line $( \mathrm { SB } )$ with height 1. Construct the point U on the attached figure in appendix 1.
- Let V be the intersection point of the plane (AEU) and the line (SC). Show that the lines (UV) and (BC) are parallel. Construct the point V on the attached figure in appendix 1.
- Let K be the point with coordinates $\left( \frac { 5 } { 6 } ; - \frac { 1 } { 6 } ; 0 \right)$. Show that K is the foot of the altitude from U in the trapezoid AUVE.
Part B
In this part, we admit that the area of the quadrilateral AUVE is $\frac { 5 \sqrt { 43 } } { 18 }$.
- We admit that the point $U$ has coordinates $\left( 0 ; \frac { 2 } { 3 } ; 1 \right)$. Verify that the plane (EAU) has equation $3 x - 3 y + 5 z - 3 = 0$.
- Give a parametric representation of the line (d) perpendicular to the plane (EAU) passing through the point $S$.
- Determine the coordinates of H, the intersection point of the line (d) and the plane (EAU).
- The plane (EAU) divides the pyramid (SABCE) into two solids. Do these two solids have the same volume?
