Câu hỏi: Cho hình lăng trụ tam giác đều $ABC.{A}'{B}'{C}'$ có $AB=a$ và $A{A}'=\sqrt{2}a$. Góc giữa hai đường thẳng $A{B}'$ và $B{C}'$ bằng
A. $60{}^\circ $
B. $45{}^\circ $
C. $90{}^\circ $
D. $30{}^\circ $
Ta có $\overrightarrow{A{B}'}.\overrightarrow{B{C}'}=\left( \overrightarrow{AB}+\overrightarrow{B{B}'} \right)\left( \overrightarrow{BC}+\overrightarrow{C{C}'} \right)$
$=\overrightarrow{AB}.\overrightarrow{BC}+\overrightarrow{AB}.\overrightarrow{C{C}'}+\overrightarrow{B{B}'}.\overrightarrow{BC}+\overrightarrow{B{B}'}.\overrightarrow{C{C}'}$
$=\overrightarrow{AB}.\overrightarrow{BC}+\overrightarrow{AB}.\overrightarrow{C{C}'}+\overrightarrow{B{B}'}.\overrightarrow{BC}+\overrightarrow{B{B}'}.\overrightarrow{C{C}'}$
$=-\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}}{2}+0+0+2{{\text{a}}^{2}}=\dfrac{3{{\text{a}}^{2}}}{2}$
Suy ra $\cos \left( \overrightarrow{A{B}'},\overrightarrow{B{C}'} \right)=\dfrac{\overrightarrow{A{B}'}.\overrightarrow{B{C}'}}{\left| \overrightarrow{A{B}'} \right|.\left| \overrightarrow{B{C}'} \right|}=\dfrac{\dfrac{3{{a}^{2}}}{2}}{a\sqrt{3}.a\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \widehat{\left( A{B}',B{C}' \right)}=60{}^\circ $.
Cách khác: Dựng trục tọa độ rồi sử dụng công thức $\cos \left( A{B}',B{C}' \right)=\dfrac{\left| \overrightarrow{A{B}'}.\overrightarrow{B{C}'} \right|}{\left| \overrightarrow{A{B}'} \right|.\left| \overrightarrow{B{C}'} \right|}$.
