1. **Problem Statement:**
Given a cube with edges of length 6 cm, find:
a) Length BD
b) Length AS
c) Length BS
d) Angle SBD
e) Angle ASB
2. **Cube Properties and Coordinates:**
Assume the cube vertices are positioned in 3D space with A at the origin $(0,0,0)$.
Edges AB, BC, AD, and DR are each 6 cm.
Assign coordinates:
- $A = (0,0,0)$
- $B = (6,0,0)$
- $D = (0,6,0)$
- $S = (6,6,6)$ (top far corner)
3. **Find BD:**
$BD$ is the diagonal of the square face ABD.
Using distance formula:
$$BD = \sqrt{(0-6)^2 + (6-0)^2 + (0-0)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 36} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}$$
4. **Find AS:**
$AS$ is the space diagonal of the cube from $(0,0,0)$ to $(6,6,6)$.
$$AS = \sqrt{(6-0)^2 + (6-0)^2 + (6-0)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 36 + 36} = \sqrt{108} = 6\sqrt{3}$$
5. **Find BS:**
$B = (6,0,0)$ and $S = (6,6,6)$.
$$BS = \sqrt{(6-6)^2 + (6-0)^2 + (6-0)^2} = \sqrt{0 + 36 + 36} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}$$
6. **Find angle SBD:**
Vectors:
$\overrightarrow{BD} = D - B = (0-6,6-0,0-0) = (-6,6,0)$
$\overrightarrow{BS} = S - B = (6-6,6-0,6-0) = (0,6,6)$
Dot product:
$$\overrightarrow{BD} \cdot \overrightarrow{BS} = (-6)(0) + 6(6) + 0(6) = 36$$
Magnitudes:
$$|\overrightarrow{BD}| = 6\sqrt{2}, \quad |\overrightarrow{BS}| = 6\sqrt{2}$$
Angle $\theta$ between vectors:
$$\cos \theta = \frac{\overrightarrow{BD} \cdot \overrightarrow{BS}}{|\overrightarrow{BD}||\overrightarrow{BS}|} = \frac{36}{6\sqrt{2} \times 6\sqrt{2}} = \frac{36}{72} = \frac{1}{2}$$
$$\theta = \cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = 60^\circ$$
7. **Find angle ASB:**
Vectors:
$\overrightarrow{AS} = S - A = (6,6,6)$
$\overrightarrow{BS} = S - B = (0,6,6)$
Dot product:
$$\overrightarrow{AS} \cdot \overrightarrow{BS} = 6(0) + 6(6) + 6(6) = 0 + 36 + 36 = 72$$
Magnitudes:
$$|\overrightarrow{AS}| = 6\sqrt{3}, \quad |\overrightarrow{BS}| = 6\sqrt{2}$$
Angle $\phi$:
$$\cos \phi = \frac{72}{6\sqrt{3} \times 6\sqrt{2}} = \frac{72}{36\sqrt{6}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{2\sqrt{6}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$$
$$\phi = \cos^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}) \approx 35.26^\circ$$
**Final answers:**
- $BD = 6\sqrt{2}$ cm
- $AS = 6\sqrt{3}$ cm
- $BS = 6\sqrt{2}$ cm
- $\angle SBD = 60^\circ$
- $\angle ASB \approx 35.26^\circ$
