IMO 1965 Problem 3

  • Day 1

Given the tetrahedron ABCDABCD whose edges ABAB and CDCD have lengths aa and bb respectively. The distance between the skew lines ABAB and CDCD is dd , and the angle between them is ω\omega . Tetrahedron ABCDABCD is divided into two solids by plane ϵ\epsilon , parallel to lines ABAB and CDCD . The ratio of the distances of ϵ\epsilon from ABAB and CDCD is equal to kk . Compute the ratio of the volumes of the two solids obtained.
