Problem 07 Find the area of the triangle whose vertex is at the midpoint of an upper edge of a cube of edge a and whose base coincides with the diagonally opposite edge of the cube.
Solution 07
$d^2 = 2a^2$
$d = a\sqrt{2}$
Area of triangle ABC $A_{ABC} = \frac{1}{2}ad$
$A_{ABC} = \frac{1}{2}a(a\sqrt{2})$
$A_{ABC} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2} \, a^2$ answer
