\({S_{ABC{\rm{D}}}} = 2{S_{ABD}} = AB.AD.\sin \widehat {BAD} = a.a.\sin 60^\circ = \frac{{{a^2}\sqrt 3 }}{2}\)

Trong (ABCD), dựng OI ⊥ CD

Ta có \(\left. {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{CD \bot OI}\\{CD \bot SO}\end{array}} \right\} \Rightarrow CD \bot \left( {SOI} \right) \Rightarrow CD \bot SI\)

Do đó, ((SCD); (ABCD)) = (SI; OI) = \(\widehat {SIO} = 60^\circ \)

∆OCI vuông tại I nên

\(\sin \widehat {OCI} = \frac \Leftrightarrow OI = OC.\sin \widehat {OCI} = \frac{{a\sqrt 3 }}{2}.\sin 30^\circ = \frac{{a\sqrt 3 }}{4}\)

∆SOI vuông tại O nên

\(\tan \widehat {SIO} = \frac \Rightarrow SO = OI.\tan \widehat {SIO} = \frac{{a\sqrt 3 }}{4}.\tan 60^\circ = \frac{4}\)

Vậy \({V_{S.ABCD}} = \frac{1}{3}{S_{ABCD}}.SO = \frac{1}{3}.\frac{{{a^2}\sqrt 3 }}{2}.\frac{4} = \frac{{{a^3}\sqrt 3 }}{8}\)
