证明:(1)因为BB1⊥面ABC,AE⊂面ABC,所以AE⊥BB1-----------------(1分)
由AB=AC,E为BC的中点得到AE⊥BC-----------------(2分)
∵BC∩BB1=B∴AE⊥面BB1C1C----------------(3分)
∴AE⊥B1C-----------------(4分)
(2)取B1C1的中点E1,连A1E1,E1C,
则AE∥A1E1,
∴∠E1A1C是异面直线AE与A1C所成的角.----------------(6分)
设AC=AB=AA1=2,则由∠BAC=90°,
可得A1E1=AE=
2,A1C=2
2,E1C1=EC=[1/2]BC=
2
∴E1C=
E1
C21+C1C2=
6
∵在△E1A1C中,cos∠E1A1C=
2+8−6
