3. In a regular quadrilateral pyramid , it is known that , and the dihedral angle formed by the side faces and is . Then the volume of the circumscribed sphere of the quadrilateral pyramid is
Solution
3. .
Draw perpendiculars from points and to , then the perpendiculars must intersect at a point , and
Since , we have
From , we get .
Let be the center of the square . Then the center of the circumscribed sphere of the pyramid must lie on the line , and intersects the sphere at another point .
Also, , so
Since , we have
Thus, .
