\(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}\left(SAB\right)\cap\left(SAD\right)=SA\\\left(SAB\right)\perp\left(ABCD\right)\\\left(SAD\right)\perp\left(ABCD\right)\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Rightarrow SA\perp\left(ABCD\right)\)
Gọi N là trung điểm BC \(\Rightarrow MN||AB\Rightarrow AB||\left(SMN\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow d\left(AB;SM\right)=d\left(AB;\left(SMN\right)\right)=d\left(A;\left(SMN\right)\right)\)
Từ A kẻ \(AH\perp SM\)
\(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}MN||AB\Rightarrow MN\perp AD\\SA\perp\left(ABCD\right)\Rightarrow SA\perp MN\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Rightarrow MN\perp\left(SAD\right)\Rightarrow MN\perp AH\)
\(\Rightarrow AH\perp\left(SMN\right)\Rightarrow AH=d\left(A;\left(SMN\right)\right)\)
\(AC=a\sqrt{2}\Rightarrow SA=\sqrt{SC^2-AC^2}=a\)
\(AM=\dfrac{AD}{2}=\dfrac{a}{2}\)
Áp dụng hệ thức lượng:
\(\dfrac{1}{AH^2}=\dfrac{1}{SA^2}+\dfrac{1}{AM^2}\Rightarrow AH=\dfrac{SA.AM}{\sqrt{SA^2+AM^2}}=\dfrac{a\sqrt{5}}{5}\)
