Paper 1Geometry

A rectangular sheet ABCDABCD is folded along the diagonal ACAC, so that the two triangular parts lie in different planes. In the folded position,

AB=BD=1,AB=BD=1,

and the directions of ABAB and CDCD are perpendicular.

What is the volume of the tetrahedron with vertices A,B,C,DA,B,C,D?

The volume of a tetrahedron is one third of the area of a triangular face multiplied by the perpendicular distance of the opposite vertex from that face.

A112\dfrac1{12}
B212\dfrac{\sqrt2}{12}
C312\dfrac{\sqrt3}{12}
D16\dfrac16
E26\dfrac{\sqrt2}{6}
F13\dfrac13
