Step 1 Let K be a middle point of AC. Just . BK is a median of and is not perpendicular to AC, otherwise , which is a contradiction. By the way, , but we said about it in the first line. Step 2 Let SK′ be an altitude of the pyramid. Thus, since , we obtain: ΔSAK′≅ΔSBK′ and , which gives , which says K′ is a center of the circumcircle for . Thus, .
